Forgot password help

polen21 · 05-15-2008, 07:52 AM

So my gf was messing around on my laptop the other day and put a password on the log on to windows screen when you first boot up your laptop. Ive tried every thing i can think of and just cant get the password. Is there anyway i can bypass this? Im not sure if im even using the correct username.

I'm pretty sure you can still get into safe mode, then take of the password.
