Hi,
I've been given a laptop by a friend which has windows 7 and I set up a password for the user account. Next time I open up the laptop my user account name has been replaced by uuid: 100000000-0000-000 etc and my password no longer works. My friend said this had happened to him previously when he had tried to put a password on. Now I have no access to the laptop and I don't have the cd to help either. Any ideas on what to do? I don't have any data on the computer so if there was a way I could somehow do a full reboot that would be fine. All the videos I've watched on YouTube require access to the computer to do a restore. And could I use any old windows 7 installation cd, or would it have to be the original one that was used to set up this particular computer?
Cheers
