Laptop Lost Password NEED HELP TO GET IN ASAP

[syfer1987]

Hi my uncle passed a way last week and as a resalt my family would like to know what he was doing in term of business. Now they have asked me to find a way to log in to his laptop and I do recall henris boot cdi think has this feature but I am not sure. Can any one tell me a free way to get loged in to windows laptop with free software or if their is some paid software that can do this.
I need to get access to the laptop soon but needs to longed in.
Can any one help?

Pretty sure there will be a way in via safemode. I know you used to be able to go around it that way with WindowsXP but Im not sure with the newer versions.

I'm not 100% on whether or not Hirens Boot will allow you to clear the SAM file with Windows 8 or newer but it is worth a shot.

This is what I use:

Depending on the Windows version there are several ways and tools to regain lost access to any unencrypted partitions on windows. Many of these are used to also illegally obtain access to system and user files. Personally I'm not sure this is the best place to discuss such items, a quick google search would be your best bet.

As long as you have Bios access you're good to go, booting from a Hirens or something similar does the trick, we use it often at work
