The problem with this now is that he had put in a desktop password. When the system is switched on, it immediately asks for Desktop password after booting. Apparently, some friend of his in college had changed it and he is not even aware of who did it. Whatever, suffice to say that we are unable to unlock the desktop asking for the password. I have tried all the F's (pardon me), F10, F11, F2 etc. etc. It does go to safe mode but does not open safe mode. It keeps logging out and going back to the password page.
Can someone help me please? If no alternative is there, I guess I could simply reformat? This is such a waste as I spent quite a bit of money to upgrade it and installed Windows 7 version after removing XP. My nephew preferred this version to XP.
Any help would be extremely highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Reformat unless you want your nephew to learn the art of a hacker. Disable password if possible next time.
