Help my laptop computer's mother board got fried. The hard drive works but I can not open my user profile?

Question

I can view my information on my hard drive but I can not open my user profile, I have not had to remember my password for about 4 years. Is there any way to bypass this.

The hard drive has been removed and I am using an external adapter via a usb cable to link it to my computer. I can view any file I want ex. owner, guest, but noy my own user profile. Are there any ways around this, would I still be able to reboot it with the cd? Please help.

Answer 1

You can get Linux Live CD like Knoppix, boot off of the CD and you'll have access to all your Windows files. Then you can copy all your files to an external hard drive.

Answer 2

You do not have a issue with your motherboard, otherwise the Operating System would never start up and you would not be able to use your computer at all.

There are programs on the Internet that can help you get by your password issue!

If all else fails, use your Operating System CD to wipe your hard drive and reinstall your system.

You want to take ownership. I've had to bypass someone's logon info to extract data off a hard drive after the mobo on their emachines died.

Right click on the profile

Owner tab, change ownership to you.
