    I found an old laptop that isn't activated anymore.


    I found a computer my dad had gotten me through Verizon, then he just shut it off for no reason. I can't get into it, so does anyone know how to get in without reactivating it and paying money?

    It could be password protected by your father. Ask your father for help.
    Shutting off a computer does not do anything that would need activation.
