    Can't login to old pc.


    I haven't logged into this computer since 2018 and thought FOR SURE that I knew the password. I've tried maybe 30 different versions of the password I thought it was by now and can't get in. When I tried doing safe mode it didn't boot into it properly, I tried to reset the pc and keep the files but it required a password for that??, then I tried the command prompt and it needed the password for that too!!I have no idea what to do and the phone numbers I called all told me to come back here. This computer has SO MUCH of my old life on it and I really need it back. please help

    :)

  2. Unlink an old android phone from my pc

    I go thru the suggested steps: Start - Settings - Phone - Unlink this PC.

    When I first open the "your phone" screen the old phone is listed. Not sure if the phone listed is suppose to be selectable or not, but my is not. When I select "Unlink this PC" the phone listed is removed. When I select "Add Phone" the old phone still
    shows. I have removed the old phone from my Microsoft Account. I have rebooted after unlink this pc but I still cannot remove my old phone.
