People get a shock when they see how quick a password can be bypassed
Yes I've been able to successfully reset Microsoft accounts, but find it can be hit and miss at times and it is not always successful for whatever reason.
I find some people can be apprehensive to provide me the password on machines I work on, and seem shocked that I can get through it, or the fact it doesn't stop you accessing any files on the drive (unless bitlocker is enabled)
I dont know how anyone can expect me to work on repairing the computer without access to windows anyway! Perhaps they think i wave a magic wand over it or something?
