Help, locked out of computer

My friend has a computer and he has a password placed on it at the startup screen. He forgets what it is and now he can't get in. Is there anything he can do to fix this?

Boot in sfe mode and disable the password there.

re: Help, locked out of computer

I don't think you can disable the password in safe mode. You might need to find a software that can reset your account password. Google for windows password crack.

re: Help, locked out of computer

Isn't there an administrator account accessible through safemode?

BTW - to access safemode: restart, press F8 during the boot up screen, select boot in safemode.

re: Help, locked out of computer

I'm pretty sure that even though you boot up into safemode, you will still need the administrator account to log in.
