Assuming that your op. system is Windows XP, at the user log on screen hit the CTRL+ALT+DELETE twice. This will bring you at a log on screen that you can type "administrator" for user and none (blank field) for password. Hit OK and after the system log on change your account's password as you wish.
In case you have already change the default administrator password, post me back to give you more details for resetting this password.

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Thanks and regards

How to unlock computer? forgot password

If you locked your computer using the BIOS lock features st start up, and you have a button battery on your motherboard, remove the battery for a few minutes while computer is off and re-install it. That will clear the CMOS settings and security passwords. If your computer is a newer model, ie. NO button battery, it utilizes a EPROM chip that you cannot re-program yourself. It has to be done by Dell, or a Dell Support Tech who has the tools to flash the EPROM chip. If you are locked out of your OS, ie. Windows, You can use a special CD disc that has password recovery and reset features to find/change the Windows password. You must change the Boot order in the computer to CD as first boot device when using the disc.

I forgot my password and username and i dont have the start up discs how can i use my computer?

It sounds to me like your very forgetful/unlucky or you stole this laptop. If you want to reset the password you'll need an installation disc. Or you could ask the owner for their username and password :)

Good Luck

Don;t know how to unlock my appl laptop i forget the password

You need to boot from a Leopard Disc or your original OS X system discs.

Hold down the "option" key and power on the computer.

Boot from the disc.

Choose install...you'll then have the option of opening the utilites function of the disc by opening them from the top file menu bar.

Just open Utilities-->Password Reset, choose your account, input the new password, and restart.

That's it!

How do I unlock my macbook,I forgot my password

  1. Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
  2. Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
  3. Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
