I set a password for my labtop but forgot the password. how do i get into my computer?
If it's a Windows password, then enter safe mode at start up by pressing F8, log in as administrator, from here you can clear any user passwords from the user accounts section. If this is a bios password you will need to contact Dell support directly for the master code to unlock the board.
When you first start it, keep pressing F8 until it goes to Windows. It should take you to the safe mode. If is doesn't get back with me and we'll force it to safe mode.
O.k. to force it into safe mode, take the battery out and start it. When you see the Windows screen with the loading bar, give it a second, then pull the plug before Windows loads, then restart. It should go to a screen that reads; Windows wasn't shut down properly, and ask you what you want to do. Choose safe mode.
