My Gateway laptop is asking for a password on the hard drive an I don't remember what it was an then it asks for another password for something else I need help pulling the computer up so I can pull my personal stuff off an put it onto a another computer.
 
It is against the forum's rules to aid with password issues as we cannot determine if yu are the rightful owner of said device.

You can contact Gateway's support for their help via phone.
