Hi folks,
I recently bought a second hand laptop for the missus. It has been working fine till today when all of a sudden its asking for a password to let you in to windows. The missus swears blind she hasn't been messing around with the laptop but I don't know a way around it. It is showing user name: user, but I haven't got a clue how to defeat the password.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
