No one knows windows password, what to do?
I seem to be forgeting things that maybe I once knew, or maybe I didn't.
My 84 yo brother just called and afaict the problem is he doesn't
remember his windows password. All he can see is a picture of a couple mountains. I'm guessing it's the same background photo that I posted
about several days ago. And a little box that wants his password which
he does not know.
His wife uses the same computer, rarely, for years rarely, and she says
she doesn't know how to log in either. (She uses mostly the phone, and
I'm told doesn't read her email anymore.)
If neither of them know their password(s), is there a way to get past
that, wihout deleting the data that is on the computer already? Like
his resume.

reasons I've never bothered much with Windows networking is that no
we've never used a password for that, it sometimes asks for one. when
there isn't one.
So it's easier to exchange files with my wife or son using USB flash
drives. Theoretically they should be able to use the printer attached
to my computer over the network, but it's so erratic that it's easiest
just to put it in the "toprint" directory on a flash drive.
But if there is any way to stop it asking for a network password, I'd
love to hear it.
