| | RE: housemate using my pc with backdoor connection Hi Does you computer normally connect with wireless or wired? If it is normally wired you could just disable the wireless. Let me know if it's wireless or not and I'll get back with instructions.

| | RE: housemate using my pc with backdoor connection Hi James, You seem to know a thing or two about computers, so I am hoping you can help me. I allowed a friend to use one of my laptops and she set a password to sign on. She says she doesn't remember it, which I am not so sure of and I am not able to use it. What can I do to retrieve the password? Is it possible? "jamesvdm" wrote: Quote: > Hi > > Does you computer normally connect with wireless or wired?

| | RE: housemate using my pc with backdoor connection Hi Jojo Do you mean your friend set up another user on one of you laptops? If so, login as your own username and you have access to delete/reset password through 'Users' in the Control Panel. If you're saying that she set a password on the only user account on the laptop, try here for more info - http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_admini...r_password.htm In future it might be a good idea to start your own post, that way more people will help with your problem ![]() James "Jojo" wrote: Quote: > Hi James, > > You seem to know a thing or two about computers, so I am hoping you can help > me.
