    Bypassing PIN (cannot logon)


    Hi,
    A friend of mine recently passed away. I am trying to gain access to his pc to recover photos and documents for his mother. The computer is PIN protected. Password resetting tools I've tried do not remove the PIN unfortunately. I do not know his Microsoft account.

    If I hadn't upgraded his PC to an SSD a few months ago I could have simply attached his hard drive to my computer to access the files. Unfortunately, I only have one M.2 slot so that is not an option.

    Any suggestions?

    Dave

    :)

    Is there anyway to bypass the initial logon that requires a password?

    I have a problem with windows 10, is there anyway to bypass the initial logon that requires a password? I’ve done google and it only indicates ‘netplwiz’, i’ve done everything that’s suggested and it still fails.

    Bypass LOGON

    In Windows 10 in late February 2018 I tried to use "command" then "netplwiz" to bypass logon screen. This used to work but the screen giving options no longer appears. Help!

    Bypass logon?

    OK, so I have installed Win10 (9926) from the ISO image, and managed to customise it a bit, but there are still some annoyances, like...

    ...having to log on every time Win10 starts up. I have persuaded it not to ask after waking up from sleep, but how can I persuade it to bypass the logon & password input at startup?
