Answer #1

Do you need a windows password? Or did you password the BIOS?

For windows password check out: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/passrecovery.htm

If you password the BIOS check out: http://www.technibble.com/how-to-bypass-or-remove-a-bios-password/

Answer #2

if its the bios password just take your motherboard battery out and short the board and that will reset all the bios to original state..

touch a bare metel part of the chassis to get the static off yourself - remove battery - set the jumper (I cant tell you 100% where this is, you will need you motherboard manual) - wait a min - put the jumper back into the original 2 pins - but battery back in and your done..

this must be done with the power lead out the back of the power supply unit…

for windows password check the howtos ;)

when you say the F8 boot menu doesnt work do you mean it really doesnt or your pressing it at the right time?

Answer #3

If you want to login without Windows password I will recommend you to choose the following two methods:

Using reset program to create a reset disk. There is a free reset program that you can create a disk. Or you can use it to login without password. That is Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.
Anmosoft Windows Password Reset. It is paid reset software. You can also use it to login without Windows password.
