Hi. I forgot my password on my account and am locked out of my computer. Will this disk help me?

You don't need to buy a disk. I can give you the steps to unlock it for free! Only takes 2 minutes!

Mine won't let me in anymore (says I use an incorrect password, which is untrue.)I've forgotten where the space bar was, but try under the 0.

Nope. For me it worked as expected--it didn't mount as a drive unless you use the password.

If you are refering to the log in password, the default is either 1111 or 1234. not sure witch if you have set your own and forgotten it, then you will need to reset the whole unit.

I agree with what A.Karantze said and make sure before you do this that you backup all of your important documents, pictures and music before wiping your system because once you wipe your system you can't get anything back. I hope this helps you with your decision

Nope, Ubuntu is pretty secure and without administrator password you simply have to reinstall Ubuntu on that machine. Anyway since you do not have any data of yours yet you don't have to worry about backing out up. Get a USB powered CD/DVD drive, download and burn a free latest Ubuntu version, it is pretty simple and the actual installation should not take any more than 15 mins.

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

That's interesting. I just kept mine in a box, but that was fortunate because when the new drive failed they were able to retrieve my data (again) from my original drive. I would think a computer place that does repairs could help you.Sounds like a great idea, good luck.

No, when I plug the thumb drive in it just opened up so that I would be able to view files. There was no need for me to enter a password if that is what you mean. Not sure if you're able to create a password if you wanted to though.

I do not believe it will password protect a file (at least I can't figure out how).

As long as your computer equipment has the appropriate usb driver program installed (most do) it should work. A more pressing concern might be whether or not you choose to password protect or encrypt the files to prevent loss of privacy in the event the drive is lost or stolen. I haven't personally explored this function on the drive.

Im not sure if you can reset the password in the program itself,... though i am fairly sure if you where to uninstall and reinstall the software that it would revert back to the original factory settings and operate the way it did when you first installed it. though by doing it this way you could lose any saved data so to prevent that i would first go to the file that the software is set to save to and copy those docs to another folder so you don't loose them in the uninstall process.... hope this helps i no longer own this so i can not test it for u to make sure sorry.

This happened twice with my daughter's Acer.. Luckily my wife was able to bring it to work and one of the computer techs there were able to run a password crack program on it and reset the password for us... So it is possible, you just need to find someone who can..Best of luck.. :-)

You will need to get into single user mode and reset it from there. For instructions, just google the following:reset root password ubuntu 13

Yes the laptop comes fully restore with operating system and the laptop will not have an administrator password. Because I won't create one. So after you get it then you can setup a password for yourself.
