My son had not used his computer for several months, and when he went to
use it, what he thought was the password didn't work. He's tried just
about everything and can't log back on. Does anyone know if there's a way
to reset the password or what he needs to do to get back on?
Thanks,

We had them as options. But they got pushed aside. McCain should have
