Hello @Meadesbrook 


If you have forgotten the password to your Vostro 3750 laptop from 2011, there are a few ways you can try to recover it:

  1. Use the Windows password reset disk. If you created a password reset disk before you forgot your password, you can use it to reset your password. To do this, insert the password reset disk into your laptop and restart it. When you see the "Starting Windows" screen, press F8 to open the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select "Repair your computer" and then select "Use a device". Select your password reset disk and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.
  2. Use the Windows password recovery tool. If you did not create a password reset disk, you can use the Windows password recovery tool to reset your password. To do this, download the Windows password recovery tool from Microsoft's website and create a bootable USB drive or CD. Boot your laptop from the bootable media and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.
  3. Use a third-party password recovery tool. There are a number of third-party password recovery tools available that can help you reset your password. These tools work by using brute-force attacks to try all possible passwords until they find the correct one. This can take some time, but it is a guaranteed way to reset your password if you have forgotten it.

Once you have reset your password, you will be able to log in to your laptop and access your files.

Here are some additional tips for recovering your password:

  1. Try to remember any clues that may help you remember your password. For example, did you use a word from a song, book, or movie? Or did you use a personal phrase?
  2. If you have multiple user accounts on your laptop, try logging in to another account and see if you can access your files from there.
  3. If you have a backup of your files, you can restore them from the backup after you have reset your password.

If you are unable to recover your password yourself, you may need to contact a computer technician for assistance.
