Setting up a windows 8 Lenovo laptop for my wife today. She forgot the password and now we are recovering the machine. There was never an option to setup the USB recovery setup when we created the password. Weird because she used the same password she always used and it had her hint in there. This reminds me of the fact that passwords are useless because I just recovered the whole machine on reboot. There could’ve been an email reset because the password itself is not that secure so why bother? I think security is so far behind in terms of evolution. Will someone just put the retina scanners or voice recognition on here and lets be done with it? Enjoy!
