My gf’s dad had a stroke 2 months ago and now can’t remember his windows password to access his laptop. Any simple way around this? He can’t really communicate verbally anymore so the password hints and prompts aren’t helpful.

Cheers but don’t think he has hotmail, just has his name and asks for a password.
Good advice, tried this but could only find his marks out of ten for restaurants he’d visited, 6/10 for Nando’s in 2009, not impressed.

No chance its linked to a hotmail password? I know some modern laptop on windows let you log in through that

Have you checked for notebooks with written passwords? That's how my dad remembers passwords.

It should be possible, what operating system is he using (ie Windows 7/8/10)?
I think this was the on I used previously:
