    Resetting Password To Unlock Computer


    Hello,My son was messing with his computer and somehow changed the password to unlock the computer upon start-up. I did some Googling and found that I need to create a Password Reset Disk, however, when I click on the link on my wife's computer to start that process, nothing happens.The user name on the screen just says "New User" and there is a "Reset Password" link under it but when I click that, it tells me it needs a USB drive with the tool.Can someone provide some insight to how we can get back into the computer?

    :)

    • If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    Resetting Password To Unlock Computer

    disable bios unlock/reset after setting a password

    I found some easy methods to unlock/reset bios password if you forgot it.
    like type the wrong password 3 times and then you get some number and enter it in a web page, which generates a password to log in with.

    is there a way to prevent that? I want to lock bios and stop other users for sure not getting in to make any changes. that could be dangerous if they get into bios make boot from USB or sth...

    does anyone have a suggestion on how to secure bios/boot?
