  1. Locked Out of My PC


    I'm currently locked out of my PC. I restarted it and in the login screen, it said my PIN isn't available. My password isn't working either. I clicked on the "I forgot my password" option and it just sends me back to the password screen. I went into safe mode and there was no option to login as admin. I also tried Automatic Repair to delete my pin and password but it didn't work. Still asks me for a password. I think I disabled all of my background programs even ones by Microsoft before I restarted so that maybe the problem. Any suggestions?

    :)

  2. 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

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