Turned on laptop today and it ask for a password...I never set a password and do not remember the username I created for other user accounts. I have tried F8 option in all modes. Still prompts for "username and password". Have made bootable disk for startup msdos, microsoftfixit, recovery password programs....Nothing works. I do not know how to get past Windows logon screen to make any disk work. PLEASE help me in recovery my laptop and user accounts.1 person needs an answerI do too
