Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

You won't find a Win Activation Code sticker on the bottom. And you can't use a program to get it off the computer. Win10 uses a digital ID that is stored on MS's servers. Download the Win10 iso create a dvd or stick. Wipe the drive during instillation. When asked for a product key chose I Don't H

Thanks for the links and references, Craig. If I can't restore this computer to normal operation, it won't be because of lack of information. The expertise available on this group is remarkable! Gerry Craig wrote: Dan Penoff wrote: > > > If you were an enterprise user you could use the MS tool

Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

If you don't want to preserve anything on the machine, just reinstall. That's probably best anyway if you don't know the history of the machine. You can create installation media from the Microsoft website, boot from that, and reinstall Windows. The Windows activation code sticker on the laptop sh

Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

If you were an enterprise user you could use the MS tool MSDart. Not sure if it’s available to non-customers, however. Ultimate Boot CD is another good tool for resetting or unlocking machines: https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/5_bootable_isos_to_boot_and_repair_your_computer_for_free.html

[MBZ] Locked Computer

A friend gave me a new, locked Toshiba laptop for which he doesn't have a password. I seem to remember that such computers make good boat anchors but aren't much good for anything else. I have several old programs for wiping hard drives, and several laptop hard drives that might fit the Toshi
