IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I forgot my password to my computer and I have no way of accessing it so now I do not know how to log on is there anyway to unlock my computer?

There are a couple of programs that will reset your password, Peter Nordhal’s NT Password reset and The Emergency Boot CD. Both of these work by creating a Linux boot disk that can access and reset the relevant Windows settings.

They are difficult tools to use though and not recommended for inexperienced users. We’d recommend you call an experienced computer technician to do this for you.

Also keep in mind if you have an encrypted files you’ll almost certainly be unable to open them so be very careful before using these tools.
