    Woe is me. A few days ago I loaded discord onto my Dell Windows 10 Pro machine. It was initializing at computer startup, so I went into config, told it not to, and then restarted the computer.


    When I booted, it indicates the PIN has been lost. "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again." So after that's clicked on a couple of times a dialog box pops up "Search for app in the Store? You need to install an app for this task. Would you like to search for one in the Store?" Click on Yes and it goes back to the start screen.


    So then I click on "I forgot my password." It loops back to the startup screen and after a couple of tries this message pops up,

    "The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application." Then it goes back to the signon screen.

    By holding the shift key, and pressing on the power button on the screen, you get to recovery options. Troubleshoot, advanced options, startup repair, recovery key is entered it's keyed correctly as the computer tells you if it isn't, click continue, then get, "Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC. ..." Then the option is to go back to advanced options or shut down.

    Any thoughts?

    :)

    Dell bios passwords 595B and 2A7B

    I have a Dell E4310 with BIOS Admin password
    I have tried the standard keygen for 2A7B, but the password does not work, I thought it may be a keyboard issue and replaced the keyboard, but the password still will not work - Any suggestions?
