    What on earth made you think a new laptop would have a password, let alone the one for your other machine????

    On start up (before Windows loads) keep tapping either F5, F8 or F10 (be aware that some manufacturers use F8/F10 for system recovery) then use arrow keys to highlight 'Safe Mode' hit Enter/Return, click on a user account OTHER than your own (probably Administrator), leave the password blank and hit Return/Enter.

    Click Start>Control Panel>User Accounts and change the password. Restart.

    Or, if you're sure the password is less than 14 characters, use this...

    (make sure you download the correct version for your OS).

    If you're not sure or want to clear the password completely, use this...
