    Can't set up password or picture password after reset


    I just reset my PC cleared files, apps, and settings, but not the drive and now I can't set up a password or picture password anymore. Before I reset my PC, I was using those two features to sign in. But they're not even in the sign-in options anymore, so I can't use them. How do I get the password and picture password features back? please

      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    Can't set up password or picture password after reset

    reset laptop password

    i could not figure out what forum this should go in, so feel free to move to whatever forum it should be in.
    a friend just called, and said he has 2 daughters and 2 dell laptops. his daughters have lost the password to both laptops. is there a way to reset the password without a full reformat? he said his daughters have a lot of music, pictures, ect. and wants to avoid reinstalling windows.
    i know that a long time ago there was a jumper on the motherboard that would reset the password on a regular pc. is there such a jumper on a laptop? or is there any free software that would let him reset the passwords? he can not afford a dell tech to fix, and i told him i would see if there was a way to reset it without a format. thanks!
    he called me from out of state and due to a bad connection i couldnt find out what model laptops they are. thanks again! sam
