    How can I reset a PC but still keep old files?


    My brother passed away and I was able to keep his PC, I never knew his password and he doesnt have a password reset key that I know of. I would love to keep some of his old files but I cant even figure out how to reset the PC or anything. Is there anyway I could do this?

    :)
