My neighbour is an old lady and cant login to her computer coz shes forgotten her password and the pw shes written down doesnt make no sense.

I tried to reset password from the win login screen but it says you need a flash drive?

Cant do that unless you log in though. The problem is getting past windows login

Unless her hard drive is encrypted (which it almost definitely isn't), you should be able to take the harddrive out and use an adapter to connect it to another computer, back up everything, and then put the hard drive back in her computer and just do a fresh install of windows or whatever.

I do this for people all the time.
Option 1) Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor
Option 2) There's a sethc replacement hack.
Option 3) There's a product called PCUnlocker.
