Reboot the notebook and then at the password screen:
Enter 72670839

Hi,
Regarding the power on password, entering the code from my previous post should remove the requirement entirely - if it hasn't, I'd suggest running some diagnostics on the hard drive ( tap away at f2 as you boot to access the diagnostic menu ).
Regarding your Windows log-on password, if you normally sign-on with an email and password ( Windows 8/10 ), see if you can reset the password via another PC from the Microsoft page on the following link.
https://account.live.com/password/reset
Otherwise, there is a general policy on the Forum not to provide methods to bypass Windows log-on passwords, however a local computer shop would be able to do this for you.
Another option, if all your personal data etc is backed-up, would be to reset the notebook to its 'Factory Condition' and then set it up from the beginning – if you don’t have your Recovery Media, the notebook will have shipped with a Recovery Partition which can be accessed at boot - ie shutdown the notebook, then start tapping away at f11 as soon as you power on.
A full guide on this can be found on the following link.
