My laptop was working on Windows 10. One fine day it stoped working. Did restore with keeping files and havent been able to restart still.
It asks for a password "
I go to advanced setting in System Tools at start up and select safe mode (Option 4) but when it tries to start it asks for a "Start up Password" - Message "The computer is configured to require a password in order to start up.Please enter the start up password below "
When I enter the last password that I was using to login to windows before it got corrupted .. that password is not working.
Dont know which password would it be .. I cant remember if i did or did not set up a start up password about 4 years back when the laptop was purchased.
Can you please me in getting the data recovered from this machine somehow ?

Bassam

If all else fails, you can remove the disk-drive, and connect it as a "slave" disk-drive on some other computer, and access all your personal files.
