Adrean Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's probably best to start by calling the employer and asking for the password. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 working around a password set by your employer could be grounds for expulsion from the company. is what you to install worth your job? the machine is company property after all. so i'd go with Adrean's suggestion and if the answer is no, leave it at that.

Jobe Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 After the advice given, am now thinking along the lines of not attempting to recover the admin password on my relatives company laptop rather was thinking along the lines of a usb solution!,what would you feel is the best way forward with this?just a portable browser or I think you can now get windows 7 on usb?.Would all his data then remain on his usb and nothing goes on the laptop?,any recommendations and or links to software would be great and thanks so far for all your help.
