  1. MICROSOFT LOCK OUT


    My Mom just gave me a Toshiba Laptop and it is locked with a Pin and/or Password that she said she did not create rendering this laptop useless to me. Is there a way to clear her Microsoft account and put mine on there? I have done a factory reset two times and it did not work. This computer has MS-8

    :)
