    I've already looked up and tried to put it on Safe Mode. Several times. It works for the administrator's account but not mine. I can't contact the administrator right now. I just need to reset the password because I forgot what I set it to. Also, I'm on a Surface, and the Windows key + W shortcut doesn't seem to work for me. So. h.


    Thanks!

    :)

    Please Reset Your TechPowerUp Forums Password

    What do I do if the password reset feature doesn't work? My email said my password would no longer work, but when I visited the site I was still logged in and I can log out and the save password feature allows me to log back in. I also cannot manually reset my password.
