Laptop for Girlfriend

Damn, I saw this in the recent topics and thought you were trading your laptop for a girlfriend. Bummer.

I would go with the i5.

 

Deased mother of girlfriend laptop password reset

I am sorry but Microsoft, who we do not work for, has set rules about this.

They won't give you access to that laptop.

You may want to take that proof to a computer repair shop and see if they can assist you.

This is Microsoft's information:

"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.

FORGOTTEN PASSWORD To gain access to Laptop

To tell the truth, I must profess ignorance

When all this started I went through the following steps:.
1) Turn on the laptop picture of a fjord appears.
2) A left click on the screen causes the user name to appears with the password box under it.
3) Anything(or nothing) typed into the password box, with a tap to the enter key then brings the command to try again.

See, I can't seem to get anywhere except I somehow(during my efforts to try variations of the password hint) ended up getting a screen that was related(I think) to BIOS.
That allowed me to go through some settings(administrative?) and choose a password. I chose to do that.
Aha I thought.
All that did was give me a log in command box(for which I created a password) .
So now, instead of the 3 steps above I have to log in to get to the 3 steps above. A step I didn't have to do before.

What I'm trying to say is this(after all my fumbling about): that I still do not know the difference between a local user account or an MS account-linked user account.

All i know, at this point, is that I am stuck at step 3 and really am not sure what to do except maybe have my fiend reach out to ASUS.

I made a mistake in my first post. I do not have the OS disc. I have the ASUS DVD suite. I mistakenly assumed it was an OS disc. I talked to my friend and was told that her laptop came preloaded with Win10.

Thanks for your reply sir. I do appreciate it.
