    How can I access my computer?


    I have two Dell computers: a laptop and a desktop. I cannot log in to my Dell desktop, a Windows 10 computer. I used Face ID to log in, but it stopped working, and I can't remember my password or PIN. What can I do? Thank you!

    :)

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?
