Solve : Locked out of computer; Windows 8?

Answer» <html><body><p>I use an HP laptop that has Simplepass (swipe your finger and it automatically remembers passwords). I downloaded Windows 8 and my simplepass would not work. I uninstalled the current simplepass drivers I had to reinstall the correct version of simplepass for Windows 8. Before I could reactivate/download the new simple pass, I walked away from my computer and it locked. Simplepass was the only way I had into my computer. I never had a real password that I typed in. So now it is prompting me for my password, but I never created one. It gives me the option to use the fingerprint option (simplepass), but since I unistalled it obviously it does not work. I cannot get into my computer. What should I do?<br/><br/>Thanks!!Obviously you have access to another computer. So as is often the case when using a program specific password that needs to be changed (or has been forgotten) there is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/normally-571448" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NORMALLY">NORMALLY</a> a protocol with the service provider (in this case simplepass) that once you jump through their security process hoops you should be able to be reinstated. Obviously in this case a method will have to be initiated by them or some manner of directing your "locked" computer to accept some <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/kind-25540" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KIND">KIND</a> of input direction. Can you get into safe mode on that computer/truenorthThere is still a password. You just don't know what it is. Or, rather- you don't remember what it is, since you have to put it in when you setup SimplePass.<br/><br/>There isn't a way around this, as far as I know, aside from remembering your password, or any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/number-238005" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NUMBER">NUMBER</a> of windows Account "Cracking" tools- but we don't help with that here.Thank you both for the help!<br/>I've tried to start it in safe mode, but have not been able to. When it turns on, it says press esc to start mode. Then I click startup mode, but safe mode is not an option. I am not that familiar with safe mode. Is there another way to start in safe mode with Windows 8?The manner of entering safe mode can be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/variable-772077" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VARIABLE">VARIABLE</a> within computer manufacturers. More often it is rapidly pressing (continuously) the "F8" key at computer boot up before the windows logo screen appears. Don't forget the other method i suggested that is likely to be your best hope.truenorthOkay. I don't have my computer with me at the moment, but when I get back to it, I'll try the f8 safe mode method and if I can't get that to work I'll contact HP SimplePass <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/like-537196" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LIKE">LIKE</a> you said. Thanks again for all the help! I appreciate it!They changed it for Win8...<br/>It's Shift +F8.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/107511/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-8-the-easy-way/"><strong>Here's A Guide...</strong></a>There are two options for your situation: one is reset Windows 8 system, and this will restore your computer to factory settings. Another option is use another PC to create a bootable PCUnlocker CD, then boot your Windows 8 computer from the CD, it lets you remove the existing logon password.Quote from: johansson on October 13, 2013, 07:02:12 AM</p><blockquote>There are two options for your situation: one is reset Windows 8 system, and this will restore your computer to factory settings.
