IT people can you help me please??

[lejackal]

I'm trying to get access to a document that is only stored on my very old laptops hard drive, it's not backed up anywhere else and as senality appears to have set in I can't remember the password

I know on windows 7 you are supposed to be able to essentially break in by changing the cmd file name to that of the sticky keys and trick the machine into open cmd on the log in screen but that doesn't seem to be working.....have Microsoft fixed that hole or is the general consensus that I've done it wrong?

Cheers

If you remove your HDD and plug into a hdd caddy that way you can access the data.

Thanks Steve, literally just got in - must've had a typo when I swapped the sticky key for the cmd box :roll:
