Feature requires removable media

Hello Lorea,

You won't find any help on a serious forum regarding how to enter a session. First of all, because the combinations are endless, but mostly because there is no legal way to do it. (You would need to hack the session, which would put us in the illegal zone). On the other hand, we can't know if you are the legal owner of the PC or if you found it on the street! Finally, what would you say if your spouse, your boss, your mother, or your uncle came to ask us to help them hack your session? You wouldn't be very happy...! Especially since it is rather curious, unless you've had a sudden bout of Alzheimer's, to wake up one morning having forgotten your password...

On the other hand, you might actually be in a bind. Two solutions:

1) You are probably someone who plans ahead and you must have backed up your documents. So all you need to do is format your PC and restore your personal data, and that’s it.

2) You don't know much about computers and you haven't backed anything up; go see a professional. If you're known to the IT technician at your company, the customer service, or the local computer store and you can prove the purchase of your PC, they will help you recover your data, format, and reinstall.
It’s not free, but within a company, it can be covered. Of course, going to tell the boss that you forgot your password, it’s better to say that the cat played with the keyboard.

You also need to have a legal copy of Windows.

That's all we can do, but it’s already something.
And then, everything is a lesson. A few good resolutions to take:
1) Back up your documents on a quality external hard drive.
2) Make an image of your system when it’s stable and clean.
(You can ask the technician to do it for you. It will help you in case of problems so you don’t have to reinstall everything).
3) Keep your password in a secret place. Have a reminder.
