   Note: Keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears.
4. On the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
5. Log into Windows by using the Administrator account and password.
   Note: The password is blank by default unless you already set a password.
6. After logging into Safe Mode, click Start, go to Run, type in nusrmgr.cpl and press ENTER.
7. Choose the user you want to modify and Click Reset Password.
8. Set a new password.
9. Click Advanced tab, Click Advanced button.
10. Click Users.
11. Choose the user you want to modify in the right pane. Right it and Click Properties.
12. Check and tick the box of Password never expires.
13. Click OK.
