Password Locked!

opene · 08-05-2008, 05:32 PM

Like a dummy, I have a new Eee and decided to password protect access. It took my password and confirmation. Next session, it would not accept the password which I am positive I had typed in. Don't really have any data to loose so don't mind if all is erased to re-establish access. What do I do?

Thanks for your reply. I took the lazy way out and had our IT guy get me back in while I was away from the office...but I did learn that I don't want to lock this machine and I found this forum!

As the rules say: circumvention of admin passwords is not allowed on these forums.
