Forgotten password

Hi,

"What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-do-forget-windows-password#1TC=windows-8

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

• If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  
• If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the
  
  Reset your password webpage.
  
• If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
  

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
  
• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.

WIFI WPA2 password

step 1: If you have connected to the current wifi, you can use your Internet Explorer to enter the router management URL, then use the router's default username and password to login, the WPA2 password can be found on that webpage. If you have found the
WPA2 password, step 2 can be ignored.

step 2: If you haven't connected to the current wifi and you have forgotten the WPA2 password, you should press the reset button on the router for a few seconds, when you have saw the LED shining, release the reset button, at this time, the wifi password
will entirely be reseted, so you can use the default wifi password or connect directly, then following the step 1 to operate.
