    We have an HP laptop that says it is locked and can only be unlocked by the user or an adminstrator - but when you try to enter a user name the "locked" message comes up. Suggestions?

    Well, you have the wrong subforum, but you have to enter the password that your cool mom set up.

    Try contacting the seller for the password. We don't provide cracks/workarounds for that here. :)

    NBR does not allow discussion on how to bypass security measures like passwords for any reason. Contact the original owner or manufacturer for assistance.

    DO NOT bring this topic up again.
