Windows 10: Reset password

The reset password system is of no use to me. Support online just sends me round in circles. There is no way to contact a person by email.

I can provide:

Name

Address

Email address 1 and 2.

Landline number

Mobile number

Bank account details

Mother's maiden name

etc etc but none of the above works.

I was asked at one point to provide 4 recent email addresses I have sent mail to and the first line of each message. On pressing 'next' nothing happens.

I have tried to set up a new account, all I am offered is the addition of family or friends.

I have been trying for four hours to resolve this.

I spent $30 on software to remove the password. It did not work.

Any help will be gratefully received.

:)

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
