    A neighbor passed away and her daughter found some laptops. Of course, we didn't know the password. We viewed your video and it worked! Now it's factory reset and now has a new owner! Thanks bunches!

    These type videos seem really simple until you try them out yourself! Got to the Troubleshoot screen no problem but after you hit Remove Everything it asks for a 48 digit security key

    Thank you. My nanny has just passed and I found the password but when I got in, I decided to change it 🙄 and then tried to sign in again but it didn’t work. Thank you soo much this was the only tutorial that worked, for me. ☺️
