They have those mobos that you type in the pw on the keyboard to turn it on, I don't think that even resetting the CMOS will get you in. You can also do a fingerprint login.

Sure, but I can just rip out the HD and install it another system.

Scroll down on that page. You don't need a subscription.

From yesterday to this morning you cannot remember your password? You are not trying to hack your brother-in-law's computer are you?
