I locked my computer with a password and now I cannot remember the password. How do I unlock my computer?

  • Anonymous Feb 25, 2012

    If I follow that process will it delete all my personal stuff, pictures etc. since the process is a full reset process?

    This will not hurt your saved items on your computer, it is not a reset of anything. It is just giving you a way to get into your computer to create a new password.

  • 1Hit "Control," "Alt" and "Delete" on your keyboard all at the same time and hold them for a few seconds. Select "Restart" from the list of options presented in the Task Manager. If you cannot get to the task manager using this method, manually shut down your computer by pressing and holding the power button. Wait about 30 seconds before turning the computer back on.
  • 2Wait for the computer to get to the Windows logo then press and hold "Control," "Alt" and "Delete." The classic login box will appear. Type "Administrator" in the dialogue box marked "User" and leave the password box empty. Click "Sign in" or hit "Enter" and wait for Windows to load the administrator profile.

    Eee pc hard drive lock

    Asus Eee PCs run on the Windows XP SP2 operating system. Accounts in Windows XP SP2 can easily be password-protected, but the same password can just as easily be forgotten.


    At moments like this, you'll wish you had chosen a password that is both secure and easy to remember, or kept a record of it in a private place.


    The quickest way to get back on the computer is to seek out someone with an administrator account on the computer.


    Press "Control" + "Alt" + "Delete" at the same time on the locked screen.

    Select "Switch User."


    Remember, only an administrator account registered on this computer can unlock the computer.


    Type in "administrator" in the user name box.


    Type the password that corresponds to the administrator user name in the password box .


    Click "OK." The Asus Eee PC is unlocked.


    Hope this helps

    Can you turn off the FPA lock without an original remote? If so, how?

    If you remember your pass word then you can use any remote that operates the TV to reset the menu selection. However if you don't remember the password, then sorry, the original remote must be used.
    Below is the procedure to set up the menu for front panel lock, unlock and the password reset.

    Front Panel

    Selecting this option lets you lock (disable) or unlock (enable) the TV's front

    panel buttons. The remote still tunes to any channel so remember to remove

    access to any remote that can operate the television.

    1. Choose Parental Control from the Main Menue and press the OK button.

    2. Enter your passworcd.

    3. Press the down arrow to highlight Front Panel.

    4. Press the right or left arrow button to choose unlock (_) or lock (_).



    I don't remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

    If you forget your password, you must reset it. Make sure the TV is of. Press VOL- (down) on the TV's front panel and then

    CLEAR on the remote for approxhnately 5 seconds. The TV turns on. Enter a new password next time you access
    the PARENATAL CONTROL menu or the TIME_menu.

    Sir...i locked my mobile with security cord...but its not unlocking mow.now wat to do to unlock it

    if you have not changed the security password then the password will be 12345 or 0000 and if you have changed it then try remembering the password and do not attempt entering password more than thrice as it will lock your mobile phone.

    if you cannot remember the password then you need to update your software.
