    Do I need to reset my PC?


    Hello dear good question forum,

    short and sweet:

    I was annoyed a few minutes ago by the fact that I constantly have to type my password into my lock screen. So after a short googling with "netplwiz" I unchecked the box above and so I thought I'd remove the password and lock screen. After a restart, however, my PC tells me that the password and username are wrong.

    Can I get some help here?

    He does not accept the old password and the security questions.

    So I was locked out of my PC, so to speak.

    :)

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    How do I reformat entire computer?

    Thanks Rich and dalchina. I'll concentrate on that option.

    Will that also convert my disk from dynamic back to basic, or do I need to do that as a separate step prior to installing Windows?

    ADDED LATER:

    1. Booted from USB
    2. did not get the screen shown in the tutorial
    3. Options from USB Boot = Choose an option -> troubleshoot -> reset this PC -> remove everything-> all drives-> fully clean the drive -> There was a problem resetting your PC
