I need to find out the password because my 7 yr old did it
To change the password, do this:
1. go to into "setup" from the boot up entry (turn on comp, then press F2 or F12, depending on your OS; look for them in the bottom left corner; if you don't press it before the OS loads, you'll need to restart and do it again)
2. Once in setup, you'll see a menu bar - for each item on the bar (i.e., File, Edit etc) select F9 and select yes when prompted to save changes. Do this for each. Then go to the Menu Bar Option that will allow you to change the password. It will ask you for the old password - do not enter anything - simply hit enter - then hit enter for the new password entry, as well as the "confirm" password entry (if applicable, should be).
Then, go to exit, and "exit saving changes". The OS will automatically reload. If and when you are prompted to enter a password for the OS, hit enter. You should be brought to the OS (windows) desktop.
If this does not work, please let me know.
