I have a 2009 Compaq laptop. I can't remember my password after not using it for 4 months. Genius me didn't write it down. I've tried every password I normally us and a few odd balls. Is there a way to reset the password without factory resting the computer? I don't want to loose my school work or pictures. I don't have the backup disk the manual states to use.
Thanks!
Closing this now. Some folks would benefit by reviewing forum rules--especially about bypassing passwords.
