Agent Machine [LOCKED]
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.

I need someone who's done this sort of thing before.
#4
Can't he just make the payment and they clear it?
#5
Swap the harddrive, Try again.
#6
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.

That will be my last post in this thread because I don't want to get annoying.

Ahah , how do i access it from nothing ?
#14
If it comes up before windows boot screen, it is bios, and you arent going to get around it.
#15
Reset CMOS, if you can find it.
#16
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.
