Re: Tech Question (NBC)

You can try booting up in Safe Mode, then sign in as Administrator. If that
works, then go to Control Panel and disable the password(s) on any other
user account(s).

If that doesn't work, there are free password cracking/resetting software
tools out there (e.g Ophcrack).

I can't remember my Windows username and password on my old laptop. Is
there an easy way to reset it?

Thanks for your help.
