Hi! @Molly15, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!

 

I understand you have issues logging into your PC.

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

Did you make any hardware or software changes on your PC?

 

Have you forgotten the windows password for your PC?

 

What is the error you get when you are trying to login to your PC?

 

Please provide the product number and operating system of your PC to assist you better.

 

Try booting into BIOS and restoring the BIOS to default and check if it helps.

 

Turn on your PC keep tapping the F10 key, you will boot into BIOS.

 

From the main or file menu select restore defaults.

 

Select F10 to save changes and exit.

 

If the issue still persists try performing a recovery on your PC from recovery manager or using recovery discs.

@KiraOkami420, It's great to hear from you again.

 

I appreciate your efforts for trying out the steps.

 

If your laptop is asking for the windows password you have to perform a system recovery. Refer the article from my previous thread for more information.

 

Sure you can try the steps recommended in my previous thread and get back to us.

 

 

 

Hope to hear from you soon!

Take Care! 🙂
