    I've got M17X R2 from someone who forgot his password. It was a gift for 7 year old boy, from one of my bosses. He use it once(!) and leave it for PS3 for 6(!) months. Now, he get bored of using console and tried to use laptop... but he forgot his password.

    I tried many diffrent ways to guess this password, I've tried to reset the password but there was no rescue disk. So i decide to use recovery partition, but i didn't know how. There was no CD/DVD (besides Win7 installation disc and DVD Media) with alienrespawn media. So i make clean installation of Win 7 and install Dell DataSafe Local Backup, thinking it will see the recovery partition (i didn't delete it), but it only allow me to make backup. This software does not see this partition.

    Is there anyway to use this recovery partition?

    I'm not asking how to crack password. I'm only asking how to use recovery partion. If i violate rules - I'm sorry. I didn't intend to do it.
