We don't do password-related stuff on TR.

If, however, there were another administrator who could log on, he or she could create a new account for the user.

sir can you tell me how? i've tried F1, F2 or even F10 to enter to the setup but still it doesn't work... can you tell me more about laptops? bec. it is my first time to fix a laptop and its my first time to encounter such a thing

Here on TR there are a lot of professionals, and as such, we do not aid in PW cracking at all. You were given an alternative, already, if another admin is avail, they can help.

If one is not avail, take it to a shop. Sorry, but we wont help notebook theives as well, which is why we put our feet down on cracking questions.

sir i DO NOT NEED CRACKS OR KEYGEN. iM just need some opinion. but nevertheless thanks for the warning and advice...

site for the manufacturer or call them.

Each manufacturer has a different process to do what you describe.

The subsequent post seem to indicate that you don't have a problem accessing the operating system, but, a problem accessing the laptop.

If your going to post a question,please give more detail so as your question can be answered correctly.

sorry if did not clarify the issue. all i need is an option on how to enter the set up of the laptop of my friend.

by jinfei01212003

and i am just asking on how can i enter the bios setup. im not asking for keys or something.

by the scummy one

it is about cracking PW's. That was in your original post, the PW was forgotten.

Just to get into the BIOS it depends on the model./manufacturer. The most common is the esc. key, F2, F10 from my experiences. But, if it asks for a BIOS PW, call the manufacturer. If it asks for a drivelock PW, it is likely unrecoverable, if it asks for an admin PW, take it to a shop.

a key down while powering up don't worry about the beeps. It should error and give you a screen that will guide you. If that dosn't work do a Google and type in "bios entry keys"

Edit: this is not an answer to your original question that you asked. TR frowns on asking for password help. Just thought that I might mention that.

hahaha. sorry if i did not clarify the issue.. i am just trying to help my friend who has forgotten his own password. it's a personal laptop. yup i just need to enter the setup but f2 and f10 isn't working.

The Administrator password is one thing...

The 'Setup' is completely different!

F2 & F10 etc is for Setup, not for Administrator password.

I've read the entire thread and am now more confused than ever.

by jdclyde

If you don't like that option, you can take it into the local computer shop and pay a computer professional to break the password for you.

Of course they will require proof of ownership before they do anything for you.

by jswentworth

I've read through this thread and you seem to be confused about what you are doing.
Are you trying to get in to the BIOS and it is password protected and there is a BOOT Password on the PC?
Or are you trying to login to WINDOWS as Administrator?
It's possible to do both of these if you have forgotten your password, but we need to know which it is, and we need to know the make and model of the laptop.

im repairing a dell inspiron 8100. and cant boot up to windows so, it is the bios password. dont worry im just looking for opinions and options and im not looking for cracks or keygens
