70 YEARS OLD. FOUND LAPTOP FORGOT PASSWORD. SIR, THANK YOU. I AM AMAZED HOW WELL YOU GAVE INSTRUCTIONS. THANKS AGAIN.

[@gaillanders3725]

Great big help. My daughter used this laptop in college and forgot the password. I took it to a well known store Geek Squad and they said it none thing they could do. Now I just have to get a new Microsoft. Thank you for sharing you knowledge.

I just woke up and got asked if I can reformat my dad's laptop and I used this video to reformat the laptop. Thank you so much for the help. mwaps mwaps from Philippines

[@martykilroy]

Thanks so much for the video. I asked my son (a computer programmer) how to reformat my laptop and he told me to take it to Staples and pay them to do it. I didn't think it could be that hard and you have proven me right. Can't wait to tell him.

[@fxbiani]

...but it's not that hard...they've made it as simple as physically possible...

Kids these days ain’t worth a fuck We’re doomed And I blame fathers just like you for it! If My kid woulda answered me like thAt, ida stuck a boot right up his ass.. but he wouldn’t answer me like that you know why? Cause I would’ve already taught him respect by the time he was 3-4 years old!! I certainly wouldn’t have waited til he was a computer programmer, then said it, then accepted it, then went online to find out how, then do it yourself- and with glee advertise that you are going back to your own child just to brag “I told you so! I told you so!” Wow bro- cmon! Man the fuck up ya sissy! Bet you do your wife’s boyfriends laundry too, huh? Like a proper lil cuck/ I would forever sleep myself if I was such a Byotch like you- Don’t you have any self esteem? Any backbone? Any balls at all? Plus you raised a lil asshole that we gotta deal with now cause you were pulled up by your kid! We’ll send his smart mouth ass my way- I’ll treat him like you didn’t! Send your wife too!!
