My mom forgot her password, and she can’t log in to her laptop now. Is there a way for us to get our family pictures? That’s the only thing we really want to recover. I’m not a Windows user, so I’m clueless; any suggestions are more than welcome.
If the windows account is connected to a Microsoft account, the password can be reset through Microsoft directly (i.e outlook.com).
However, I am not aware of a simple way to reset the password of a local user on windows.
An alternative that may work would be to boot from a Linux live USB (DO NOT INSTALL from the USB) and access the files on the disks from there.

Please help me find information on how to get unauthorized access to a PC on Windows 10. I know that this can be done through metasploit, Darksomet RAT and through RDP hacking. But if there are any other ways to do this so that the victim does not know that it has been hacked.
Thank you very much in advance.
PS The information is for EDUCATIONAL purposes only.
I use metasploit, dark comet RAT and hack via RDP. But we need more information and options on this issue.

During my work-from-home days, I use a Mac Mini at home to access my Mac workstation in my office through a VPN set up by my IT department at work.
When I use OSX's Screen Sharing at home to control my workstation, does my workstation in my office display what I'm seeing & doing on the screen share at home, or is the screen still blank? If someone is in my office, can they see what I'm doing?
Assuming your remote workstation's monitor is turned on, everything you do remotely is visible on that monitor and anyone physically present there will be able to see what you are doing.

As the result of some missteps in setting up a new Windows PC, I now have just a local account. I have no Administrator account and I can not do any management actions. So now I want to do a reset to get back to the original OS state. I have a Recovery Drive with system files that I made when I first unboxed the new computer. I can boot from that but I can't continue the Reset without the missing Administrator password. Is there some way to activate the Reset from the Recovery Drive?
If it's a new pc, why not wipe the whole hard drive and reinstall windows?
If it was a pre-built PC most of the times they come with its own 'recovery' partition which you can boot from and reinstall/etc.
Have you tried that?

My network user id keeps getting locked out, but I'm not doing it. I'm positive no one is using it besides me, but it is embedded in various places, for example I have a local IIS instance that is using it. However, my ID was locked over the weekend & I wasn't working. I'm assuming that my id is embedded somewhere else with an old password. How can I find out where?
Scour the Windows Security event logs on the machines where you may have set up scheduled tasks or services to run as you. Or if it's consistently happening, power down a machine and see if you still get locked out, if you do it's not that powered off machine, use the process of elimination that way (if possible).

there are PCs in our domain,.. Every computer is connected to server, every user can access every computer using its user profile (windows user),.. In last months, one account is still being blocked (password is being wrongly entered three times) from some computer. Is there a way how can I find out, from which computer is the account blocked (from which computer there is always purposely entered bad credentials)?
Thanks for answer
as a starting Point for your troubleshooting, we don't know what troubleshooting you have already done, but, since it's a domain that all the clients are connected to, Logically there would have to be a Domain Account on the Server and the client, You could isolate the issue and Narrow down your options by finding out how many of the client machines, Have the Account, Named as the one that the server says, that failed to logon successfully, then.. of the clients that have that account, Check the Event Logs and Event ID's and see what you can find there, Here's a Link to help you out [http://www.eventtracker.com/newsletters/following-a-users-logon-tracks-throughout-the-windows-domain/] Read it carefully and let me know how you go.
