Ok this has been some time so please be patient ;-)

My friend just moved and when he hooked his laptop it asked for the password, which he does not know or forgot.

What I did for him when he first bought it back in 2017 was to create a boot disc, I have 2 of them as I remember his first laptop was defective so he was sent a replacement. Both the same models and both had the same OS.

So I have 2 discs, what do I have to do to get his password or create a new one w/o loosing what ever he has on his laptop? In the one disc folder I did have a piece of paper with what I think is his MS key and also I have written Net framework V4.0.30319 ( if that helps)

HELP ;-)

TIA

It is against the forum rules to help to bypass security features.

I can say that it won't take more than 10 minutes if the drive isn't encrypted.

Any PC Service Tech worth his salt will have a copy of the "Password Removal Tool".
(it's a retail product, sold only to professionals);)

I do, as a duly licensed Computer Tech, and with that on a boot disk, it only takes about five
minutes to completely remove any user Password.
I'm retired now, but I still get called on a couple of times a year, to help someone get into their PC.
I try to discourage individuals like that from even having a user password on their PC.

I can't imagine that any decent computer shop would charge you very much to remove the password, and not touch the data.
Call around, and see if there is a local shop that would do that for you, at a decent price.
You may have to provide proper ID.

I would, if not so far away.
Happy Holidays!

Adding to TechnoMage's post, any business or retail oriented computer shop will also carry Hiren's superduper Boot and PC Unlocker. Again, expect a small service charge for their 5-10 minutes of work.
