This problem was created by the original owner, as he forgot his password. So he asked me to reset it without erasing his important data! Well… it took me 3 hours to bypass the security system without a password – recovery disk!
For those who forgot your password, please use this tutorial. Its better to learn it, if the technicians are unavailable in your country. It’s also useful if you’re on holiday, mostly, forgetting your password from all the fun and laughs.
