I have a HP Pavillion which I rarely use, only for travel, I got it out and it did an update the other day and now asks for a password which it never did before. I answer the password reset questions correrctly but that doesn't work (I don't believe I've ever set password reset questions). Please help, I'm locked out of my own notebook. (n.b. I've tried every password I've ever created.)
