If you have tried that, and it didn't work, and you have no way to know the password, then my advice would be that you need to do a clean install of Windows. The only thing I CAN suggest, or offer, is whether you actually tried NOT putting anything into the password field. This is a hard, fast forum rule and is not ever an option. In any case, I normally ONLY allow the system to try and 'repair' itself as a last ditch option because usually it doesn't work and it almost always completely borks the Windows installation up when it doesn't work.Īs far as the passwords go, sorry, we can't help with ANYTHING that is meant to assist with bypassing security or password protocols no matter how obvious it is that the system belongs to you. Or, the system is just weirding out for no reason. Repairing means something has been corrupted, either because you fiddled with something in the registry, or the boot process was interrupted and, to quote Microsoft, 'something happened', or the system lost power or any number of reasons where for whatever reason something that normally contributes to the normal boot process whether through the registry settings and configuration or the boot partition, was affected or corrupted and Windows cannot boot. 'Repairing' is never 'like a Windows update'.
