    Disable syskey windows 10 (have password)


    One of my nephews friends thought it was a good Idea to put a syskey password on my nephews laptop a couple of years ago. My nephew has asked me to do a clean install on windows for him and I would like to disable the lock on the laptop for him but cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it now that windows 10 has removed the syskey tool.

    I have the password so can still use the laptop.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Syskey

    Hello, thanks for sparing time for my issue .

    I had syskey in my windows 10 operating system and I tried to update but in the final stage it did not go through because of the Syskey.

    so I tried to disable syskey but guess I did something wrong and it asked me to change my syskey which I don't remember now... and now I can not use my laptop at all.. all I can do is try to put Syskey password and after three attention or takes me to repair
    PC and all the steps and o tried to reset my laptop and it completes the process but know the end on a black screen all I get is few dots going in a roundward motion .

    please help

    Syskey

    Hi again, Sorry I am seeming to misunderstand. I need a bit of clarification, should I disable syskey by that method first and then use bitlocker? Or just use bitlocker instead of messing with syskey? Will using Bitlocker disable the use of syskey altogether?
    Just want to be sure about this procedure. I have never enabled syskey on this system so using bitlocker instead is the way to go? I have windows 10 home 1703 build (15063 632) Is bitlocker usable on home edition?

    Thank you.
