As the title says, reformatted a lenovo laptop with fresh Win 10 pro and all I did was activate windows, install chrome, office 2016 suite, did any updates that were ready to do, and once done, turned it off.
Next morning, turn it on - asking for password! Tried random things, but obviously none would work - was more going through the motions while in disbelief.
Never had this happen, ever - and while there are many threads and such on google - they all seem to be after o/s update or people that had been using the affected machine for a period of time.
Anyhow, obvious solution is to just reformat and call it a day - but why did this happen randomly and how can I prevent this occurring again as this laptop is sold to a friend.
Thanks
