Hi all,

I haven't been on TTG in quite a while but I do remember how handy it was...

Whilst cleaning out I've found my Sony Vaio - Windows 7, and can't remember the password.
There is nothing on it worth keeping and it wouldn't bother me if it had to be restored to factory settings.

Anyone know anything I can do without downloading cracks etc...

I've tried the administrator bypass suggested online but no account appears...

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

I've got a desktop PC, and another 3 laptops... would that help?

I'd just rather not go through the hassle of downloading software but if that's my only option then I'll get round to it someday : )

A simple solution would be to just re-install Windows.

He has no need/want to keep any of his old stuff so a simple re-installation of Windows would be fine. It would also clean out any old programs etc on his laptop so it would run like new.
