I inherited a computer running Windows 8. When I power up the machine, it asks for a password. I don't have that password. What can I do to use the machine?
A BIOS/EFI password or a Windows password? If there is a BIOS password you can usually pull the battery out for a few minutes and it will change back to having no password. But you will also lose your current BIOS settings which could potentially be a problem. I am not sure if machines using EFI typically need the battery to keep the password stored. You might need to do something else in that case.
