We are stuck on this "startup password" screen (identical to the one posted on this thread) after receiving one of those "microsoft calls" that threatened to shut down computer if the "discovered" malware wasn't removed for a mere $350. Wife realized it was a scam too late after giving access to computer. Now we can't get anywhere on the computer other than the f2 f10 options. Have tried the f10 reboots using recover disc but always comes back to the "startup password" w/ no known password to work.
Are we dead in the water or is there a workaround for this?
Thanx in advance.
