Unlock Windows Vista on Dell 1525

I purchased a laptop computer from someone but she forgot her password. I have the Vista Disk so I could re-install the entire program if possible but it won't boot up and load the disk w/o the password. I've tried everyhting short of taking it somewhere. I have been in the F2 setup, F8 Startup, and F12 boot menu but nothing gets me anywhere. Thanks

I have downloaded Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 . I have personally tested it . It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password.

Hello,

This laptop has a "hardware level" password. This means there was a password stored in the BIOS and it needs to be typed in before the computer can even attempt to go through to get into Windows, or boot from a CD.

Check this youtube video to see how to break a hardware level one:

The other issue can be there is a "software level" password. This is the one made in Windows and also can be broken. The best way around this is to do a search for "Windows Password Hack Boot CD". You will need to make this on another computer of course, as you will need to make a CD. Once thats made, just run it on the machine, follow the questions (press enter a few times) and it will let you clear the password.

One of those ways will definatly remove that password.

Hope this helps!
