Writting this from my secondary laptop.
(backstory)Few weeks ago my laptop keyboard broke (lets say that it was destroyed my a small kid). I havent used that pc for quite some time hoping to one day come back to it. And now it is the day when i decided to fix it.
Problem im dealing with, my default account administrators username was "Admin" and password "XXX" (im not typing it out in forums). Few hours ago when i opened this laptop and started to messing around with it. First thing i notice was that administrators user is no longer "Admin" but "CCC" trying to type in password "XXX" ended up in failure too, ended up comming up message with hit "zzz" (and that is not the hint i set up...). Tried to change user, but there is no "change user" thing available. Readed up few guides how to change user, 75% involves logging into account itself (which i cant) and other 25% involves troubleshoot option that windows offers and running cmd. (which i cant eighter because it askes for password i dont know). Basicly i don't have administrator rights and most of troubleshoot tools will not work (Tried).
Updated
Figured out that my username itself is change to %1. "Hi %1, please enter your password"
Please help with this. If there is still "Admin" user existing i want to see/access it.
Yes, simple way would be just totally wipe pc, but i have importain personal information there that i need to access.
Laptop information details:
Notebook model: Compaq CQ58 Notebook PC
Factory installed OS: Win8
BIOS Version/vendor: F.32/Insyde
Cheers!
