I have a technical question

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

As some of you may know, my husband passed away three weeks ago. I have a computer, a Fujitsu Life Book, that he had password protected. I've looked everywhere for his password but I can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know if it is possible to override the password?

Thank you

1. What are we talking about

Overriding a Operating System password or overriding a BIOS password?

EDIT ADD: I found this:

2. I'm a technical idiot

so I'm not sure. All I know is that when I turn the computer on, it requires a password, so that sounds like the OS password?

3. Looks like the Lifebook has it's own security thingy

...as part of the hardware.

Read the doc I showed you above and see if that helps. If not, I can do some more Googling or, hopefully, someone with actual experience with this model can help you.

Wish I could help.

6. If you can't find or guess the password

you might have to send it to Singapore.

But I'd call their customer service first.

Best of luck, and deepest sympathy.
