Help !
My brothers girlfriend purchased a "Rent-to-own" laptop and missed a payment, They locked her pc with an unknown tool.
System Restore dosn't remove it
Win+R ( Re-starts the PC)
Safemode displays the same screen.
Alt Tab dosn't work,
I've searched around online and can't find anything.
Please help.
It also states " Attempting to bypass or reactive this machine without the proper password may result in damage to your system and loss of data "

If it says there is no way to bypass it and they have some serious shit like that, it's best to take out the sledgehammer. But honestly, I haven't the slightest clue on how to destroy that.
Nothing i can think of/ tried worked.Quote:

Can't he just make the payment and they clear it?
Swap the harddrive, Try again.
Change hard drives -> If problem doesn't occur any more, you win. If problem still does occur it's probably something built into the bios/dos/whatever or something.

What about if i'm not wanting to swap HD's.
Any other method ?
Ah, must have the good porn on that HD, huhhh? :P Kidding.
That will be my last post in this thread because I don't want to get annoying.

Reset CMOS, if you can find it.
Reset CMOS.
Does it work?
No?
Install ubuntu
Install flashrom
flashrom -w bios.bin (google)
Reinstall windows
Problem solved
Also, the loss of data thing is fake. It's just a scare tactic.
Try booting to a different driverQuote:
