Hello,
I have a Windows XP notebook that I can not get into. I changed the password on it about a month and a half ago and I forgot it. The notebook does not have a place were I can put CD's in to so I have to use a USB. I recently downloaded Windows 8 on it, and I don't know if that will affect what is happening.
 
Also, if it run XP now, it probably not going to be a good idea to upgrade to windows 8. Check the manufacturer to make sure it is supported.
