    I need my password to authorize resetting my laptop because I forgot my password. What do I do?


    I forgot my password to sign in to a laptop that I haven’t signed into in a long time. The hint doesn’t help and I my answers to the security questions are somehow incorrect. I’ve tried troubleshooting and there’s nothing I can do because everything seems to require my user password to authorize. Please help!

    I can not reset my google password

    Two step works for me if your phone info is the same as it was you should be able to recover it.

    I can not reset my google password

    So I forgot my main google account password and I have been trying to reset but I am unable to due to not having access to my recovery email or my old phone which was still attached to my google account. Yes I know I should have updated this information but I forgot to.

    I am currently logged into to my google account on my PC, but I had to factory reset my phone due to it having some software issues and I need to add my main gmail account to it but I am unable to reset the password. The only reset option I can do is my security question.

    If anyone has ran into this issue before or might have an idea that could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you.

    I forgot my bios password- How I can reset it?

    Wow! Acer wants $100 to reset the password!
    So now my future laptop vendor short-list is:
    Not Acer
    Not Acer
    Not Acer
    Not Acer

    Oh, wait. That was already my short-list.
