I did the dumbest thing! I got mad at my boyfriend and said, "You can't use my computer anymore!" and put a password for Windows. Unfortunately, that was over a week ago and I never turned the computer off and it completely slipped my mind. I turned the computer off last night and when I went to turn it back on today, I found that the password was there. I tried, literally, about 120 different things, I'm coming up with nothing. I have no idea what I made it!


I Googled and something said if I do a system restore to a date when the password wasn't there, I should be fine. But how do I do that without being able to get into Windows?


And I don't have a copy of Windows, my computer came with it with no reboot/back-up disk (and I never got the disks to make a backup disk) - so I don't know what to do.


Is there any way around the password?

And, the strangest request of them all, can you text me tips to 401-952-7036? I obviously don't have computer access now (thankfully my brother asked me to babysit tonight, so that's good) - but I do have my cell. You can text me for free at virginmobileusa.com. Or, if you're super smart, you can just call that number, ask for Dave (but we work 3-11 every day), and walk him through fixing it.


Thanks in Advance!!
