Hey, i have recently bought a new laptop, bso i am pretty new to windows 8. Its a Lenovo Ideapad Y50.
At first i had a password and a pincode, i was able to switch between the 2 login options at the login screen, i always used the pincode, as it was faster. I forgot the password. And somehow the option to choose between the 2, is now gone. To conclude, i am unablebto login to my laptop, as i dont know the password and it is not allowing me to login through my pincode. The account is not a microsoft account, so i cant just go to there website and change my password. Nor do i have a password reset disk. I have tried all the passwords i know and have no clue what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if my spelling isnt that good. Not a native English speaker.

Thnx in advance

Rinke

(obviously you cannot get into your account so you would need to boot Windows from a USB or disc to get a command prompt)
