I have recently come across my laptop which I haven’t used in many years. I can not remember my password to gain access to the laptop, does anybody know if I can somehow change the password or override it to get access?
I would rather not completely reset it as I don’t want to loose what’s stored on it.
Any help would be totally appreciated. Thank you
