    Locked out of my PC


    Ok so the issue I'm having is that my Acer laptop is connected to my MSN account so requires my password to login in order to access my Desktop and files etc....I have forgotten my password so thought I could simply reset it and while I know what my password is now, I don't remember what it was before and my laptop keeps saying Your PC is Offline. Enter the password you used last on this PC. So the new password isn't working.I have tried every password I could think of that I may have used and nothing works not even my brand new password for the Microsoft account.

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
    2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount

    Hi Kirby,

    I would suggest you to set the default pictures as the Lock Screen picture from the PC and check if it works or not.

    • Select Personalize
    • From the left click on "Lock screen"
    • Select the default picture and conform by preview.
