Hi all! I’ve done extensive research on this issue, and cannot for the life of me figure it out. I’m trying to get into my old computer so I can access old photos and what not. So, here is my issue..
1. I forgot the password to my windows 8 toshiba computer. The password is not connected to my windows account because it is not connected to the internet, and wants the password I last logged in with.
2. I’ve had trouble getting into advanced options using f8 because my computer starts too fast, I’ve successfully done it once.. out of many tries.
3. When I got to advanced options.. if I tried to get to CMD or anything else it asks for the password for the account - the account I’m trying to log into IS the administrator account, there are no others. I tried to restart it in safe mode with command prompt and it just restarted normally.
4. I don’t have a backup disc or password disc or usb
5. I’ve wrecked my brain trying to remember this password and it just escapes me
6. I can’t even restart it from a last saved back up point because.. it asks for the password.
7. I’ve read a few blogs that talk about password hacking software but am afraid to use it, this is unknown territory for me. I don’t need to fool around with something I’m unfamiliar with just to get into my computer (though I really want to get into it!!)
..is there any hope for me?
