Solved

Hello, I have an eMachines G525 PC and I can't find my password!!! I tried going into the "setup" menu at startup, but everything is in English and I don't understand anything :( I also tried reinstalling the system by pressing "altgr+F10," but it didn't work!! Do you have a solution please? I definitely have important folders to recover on this PC, otherwise, oh well, but at least I would like to be able to use it again.... Thank you.

    Well, that's what I did twice, but I always go back to my old session with a request for my password.

    It's that you're doing an upgrade

    Reinstall properly

    3 - Restore the system from the CD/DVD: When this option is selected, insert the first backup disc into the optical drive. Confirm the system restoration when prompted. A message will notify you that you will lose all data on the main partition. The utility will then restore the system from the backup image on the CD/DVD. Insert the other discs when prompted.
    Note: If you are restoring the system to its factory default settings saved on CDs/DVDs, Acer eRecovery Management will ask you to insert disc 2 to proceed.

    I'm in ... But the problem is that the "2" section on the left side for password verification remains "greyed out" :(

    You don't need the password with the CDs :)

      We can try to see what's happening on your hard drive.
      Do you have a blank CD?

      You can stop the restoration.
      Download this ISO file to your desktop:
      ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/toutou/ToutouLinux-431.iso
      Burn it to your CD using BurnCDCC at a maximum speed of 4X:
      https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/5205-burncdcc/
      Once ready, put this CD in the drive, restart, tap F12 to access the Boot Menu and select your CD/DVD drive.
      Check this link for the small launch settings:
      https://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/24285-recuperer-ses-donnees-personnelles-avec-toutou-linux
      Let me know when you reach the Toutoulinux desktop.
      It does not install; it simply runs in RAM for the duration of its use. It will allow us to see your hard drive and possibly recover your personal data if it hasn't been erased by the restoration attempts.

    Well, this is worse!!! When I tried to cancel the restoration, it asked me to insert the 3rd CD... Which I did.
    Then I waited a bit and still the same, 99%....
    So I took out my CD to install the one with Toutoulinux...
    And now it's a disaster for me, I don't understand this so-called "setup" in English at all!! And then it gives me an error message and if I understand correctly, I need to restart my computer because it didn't finish the restoration due to a problem... Anyway, I'm tearing my hair out!!!

      Don't panic.
      Yes, forget about the restoration, put in your Toutoulinux CD, turn off the PC with the button and restart it, tap F12 and tell me what you see.

      In the bottom left, you have SDA1, 2, 3 icons...... click on SDA3 to open it and see if you can find your documents.
      Do you have a way to take photos and do you know how to insert them into a CCM message?

      Close the windows, left-click on the desktop, System, Disk Management, at the bottom of the window, Launch GParted.
      You didn't answer me about the photo?

      Once you have launched GParted, open the window wide, click on ME at the bottom left, Graphics, Screenshot, Now, in Paint that will open, click on File, Save As, in file format put JPEG, give it a name below and click on Validate.
      Plug in a USB, open it with the icon at the bottom SDB... I believe, at the same time, open next to it the Files icon, your photo is there, drag it into the USB window, in the small dialog box that will open, choose Copy.
      Plug the USB into the PC you are using, go to this link: https://www.cjoint.com/
      Click on Browse, find your photo, select it, click on Open.
      Click on Create Link, a blue link will appear, right-click on it, Copy the address, and paste it into a message below.

      Did you do what I told you? And wait a bit for it to copy?
      Before unplugging the USB, make sure you can still see the photo in Toutoulinux.

      Try to save it as PNG, then make another one.
