Question

I can't remember my password to boot my Toshiba laptop. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you have Windows, boot your computer and immediately press on the F8 key repeatedly until your computer displays the boot menu. Choose Safe Mode using the arrow keys and press Enter. On the home screen, click on Administrator. Click on the Start menu in the bottom left corner, go in the Control Panel, then in User Accounts you can change any user passwords easily.

How do I reboot and select the proper boot device?

For most computers, when you turn them on, the boot options are displayed. They could be F1,F2,F3,F4, etc., and there should be an option to boot from hard drive, CD, etc.

Is there any software that I can download for free to rid my computer of a program that has taken over my computer?

You can try downloading a computer cleaning software that can scan and remove harmful programs from your computer, but it may or may not be successful depending on what the program is and which cleaner you use.

Question

I deleted the partition on my MacBook that was running Windows XP. The sound was not working on Windows XP. How can I recover it?

Community Answer

If you made a backup you can copy the backup to the drive. If you did not create a backup before you deleted the partition you will need to reinstall it because there is no way of recovering. Maybe you will get lucky if you can find some kind of recovery tool.
