Yes. That's exactly what it would do. I don't see why you're so reticent regarding going into the BIOS settings as suggested.

I cannot get into the bios. Let me try more. I can't even get into the command mode.sysprog said:Yes. That's exactly what it would do. I don't see why you're so reticent regarding going into the BIOS settings as suggested.
What happens when you navigate to the 10th entry on the startup screen and hit Enter? Please show the first screen that you get upon doing that. What was the screen immediately prior to your 'Power on 6' 'Boot Options' screen (it's whatever screen the back arrow at the upper left is inviting you to return to)? On the 'Boot Options' screen, you should try checking 'UEFI Boot Order', and then see whether F9 shows the USB device.yungman said:I can't get in, I think I was wrong

Yes, I think I got into the boot option and booted with Hiren's BootCD. I can even get into Command Prompt. Before I mess up anything, tell me what to do next.sysprog said:What happens when you navigate to the 10th entry on the startup screen and hit Enter?

After your login, to eliminate the Windows User Account password, you can Navigate as follows:yungman said:I actually wrote down what I did step by step so I can reference back in the future. I bought two more USB drives, I am going to repeat this with an old laptop I have. I am sure it's going to be a lot more simple as when power up, just hit ESC will do it instead of what I had gone through became of running the Ophcrack. I wonder how can I totally eliminate the power up login and all the steps on the laptop?
For me, mostly its been manuals, technical articles, textbooks, utilities, problem-solving, experimentation, reading and writing code, and asking teasonably good questions.How do you know all these, where can I learn more about computers? Is it IT class or books?
It seems like you've had a great career and contributed a great deal. You don't need to be a programmer to be a good technician. It wouldn't hurt to learn a scripting language at least well enough to read and interpret and maybe tweak existing code. I think that C++ is a good thing to learn if you want to write full-scale software.I am retired, I was an EE and manager of EE before. I was here a few years back helping in EE part of Physics Forums for a while. But I am not that into computers. This make me think about learning more about PCs and laptops. I am the IT of the house...Me...IT! I usually know better not to get in trouble, but my big boss ( wife) is a different story. I ended up have to fix her laptop. This last episode started with she kept putting in the wrong password on her email and now the account keep kicking us out every two hours. She want a new email address, so I created a new account. Then I made the old account forward email to the new account to make it easy to set up the address book and everything else to transition to the new account. That's when I got this problem. I must have done something with my computer accidentally during the process to cause the password problem.
Do I need to learn C++ or C# to be good with IT?

Hirens is a set of utilities. Some of them can damage your system if they are used incorrectly. Always make a complete backup before making system changes.rneyade said:It seems Hiren's Boot CD does not support Windows 10 very well. correct?

A tool set can be safe to use but unsafe if used unsafely. In general read-only tools are safer than write-capable tools are. Hirens includes useful and reliable tools that are safe to use if used correctly but that can damage or destroy a system if used incorrectly.rneyade said:thanks for the tip. I though it could be safe to use it as many people recommend it.
I would need more information before I could be of assistance regarding that.BTW, I tried to use the Password Edit utility but failed to change my windows 10 password.
For Windows 10 password recovery issues,you'd better ask the NT password reset tool or Trinity Rescue Kit for help.They are professional tools to help you change password for Windows 10.rneyade said:BTW, I tried to use the Password Edit utility but failed to change my windows 10 password.
I would like to see how and why the attempted correction option failed.Coco said:For Windows 10 password recovery issues,you'd better ask the NT password reset tool or Trinity Rescue Kit for help.They are professional tools to help you change password for Windows 10.
Password reset disk is a tool for removing and resetting Windows 10 password,in this way the Windows 10 password can be changed any time.Coco said:For Windows 10 password recovery issues,you'd better ask the NT password reset tool or Trinity Rescue Kit for help.They are professional tools to help you change password for Windows 10.
