Today, my brother changed the password on my laptop so that I can't log into my profile. All my notes for school are on it and finals start on Monday. Guess who can't remember the new password. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my brother stole my hard drive and wiped it. My hard drive had a 10-page school project on it. The project is due tomorrow. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, my brother thought it would be funny to disable my iPod Touch for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, I went to enter my password. I missed a number accidentally. 50 minutes to go. FML
Today my brother disconnected my internet and made my task bar disappear. I spent 2 hours trying to fix it, when I figured out I just had to restart the computer. Now I'm a little behind on assignments. FML
Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a Post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML
Today, my little sister got mad at me because I wouldn't let her read my IM conversation. I took a nap and when I woke up, my laptop was gone. She took it on a trip to her grandparents' house, six hours away. Nude pictures of me and my paper due tomorrow are on the laptop. FML
Today, my friend told me she'd lost her notebook filled with crucial notes for our finals. She asked if she could borrow mine and copy my notes. She then lost my notebook too. FML
Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML
Today, I was logging into my work computer. My account became locked due to the many failed attempts at typing my password. Thinking I was alone, I said, “Fuck this shit” while dragging the keyboard off my desk. Turns out my supervisor was in the other room. I'd forgotten I'd changed my password the other day. FML
Today, my brother "pranked" me by dropping my new laptop out my bedroom window. He'd set up a saran wrap safety net below to catch my laptop safely, but he didn't secure it well enough. My laptop is completely fucked and he won't accept responsibility because he didn't mean to break it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If it's a windows machine it's easy. As it's booting up keep pressing F8, a menu should pop up with a few options, choose safe mode with networking. After that it should load to the login screen. At this point it will display the base admin account, it should just say "admin" or "administrator" depending on which version of windows you have. Log in to that account and you can delete the password off of your other account.

TheRealFamilyGuy 5
you should have memorised all your notes by now and be able to rewrite them of the top of your head
ImOutsideYourWin 0
That's a bummer but you should have saved these important notes on a little thing called a USB. Also I agree that you should know it all off the top of your head by now.

#16 haha math humor. this sounds like a job for the geek squad!!

the last sentence/question of this fml is pointless.

16, a USB is the port on the side of your computer. You're thinking of a flash drive. They plug into USB ports. It was a nice try, though. OP, backup your important data. It'll save you some misery.

38-Not really, the OP is saying his brother forgot the password. Without you wouldn't really understand that part of the FML.
MizzErikaHart 8

go to any bit torrent site from a computer you can log into. search for and download mri current version or closest is 5.5 or so. burn to disc and boot to mri load option 6 for mri pe. Once loaded go to tools and samuri password reset. remove the password for your login and reboot. hope this helps btw this is for windows

geek squad could do it but they would just use software you can get for free online and do yourself.

turn the pc off and hold F8 when you turn it back on, log into the admin account and change it back from there.

If your computer had a password your bro shouldnt have been able to get on in the first place...

45, nice try. USB stands for Universal Storage Bus. The things on the side or back of a laptop or front or back of a desktop is called a USB PORT. Flash Drive is just an alternative name for a USB. So is Memory Stick. 121, there's plenty of ways of changing a password. OP's brother could've keylogged the OP, or maybe OP's brother was using the computer after OP logged on for him/left the computer unattended. q

Haha fail 128. You try and be smart by explaining to us technologically inept heathens what USB is and don't get the acronym right. Why would the "S" mean storage when many USB accessories don't have storage? Lol.

I think the better question is why did he HAVE his password to begin with. I don't tell my family my password....if you did give your family your password why even bother with one.

So your friends can't get on it if you take it to school?

try knoppix

Forgot your password? dumbass click on that

Dumbass, It only works if you have the menu "Forgot Password?" saved on a Flash Drive. OP's gonna have to do what I said at the bottom of the page, or download Software, boot into the CD/Windows and remove it that way. lrn2Windows

Yeah, but the Knoppix approach works, too. It's good to have a Knoppix CD available, also helps if the system is crashed for some reason - you can boot from CD, mount the harddrive and make a backup.

you can also boot into safe mode, and login to to admin account. I'm pretty sure that you can remove a profile password that way, under "user accounts".

kick his ass and get him naked slap him across the face take a pic and show it to every 1!!!!!!!

Do this or get a linux bootable disk and retrieve the files using that. Why the hell was he able to get into your computer in the first place? If it had a password at all why did he know it to be able to get on?

#60 you carried it too far
tboudre 0
if you do this, it may delete all the documents in your profile. better to find the profile directory & change the permissions so that the admin can see the profile folder, then copy the files to a directory under the root. this is why I don't store the important stuff under my profile.

Not far enough you should light him aflame also

your picture annoys me because root 2 is real...root negative number is not
cobalt_guy 0
Actually, the square root of negative numbers is "i" and it actually has real world uses. For example, working with electricity.
Draminicaus 0
the square root of -1 is i. You can have negative square roots. "i" is not a real number. Although, the square root of 2 (dude's picture) is 1.414.... which IS a real number. Dude's picture doesn't make sense.

You guys are like me, but on the Bizarro World. I would never correct someone about math, because I fail at it. I am glad there are people like you.

get someone to hack it(: , or tateltail (:
Coldaemon 3
Assuming you're running windows, try booting in safe mode, from there you should be able to use the control panel to change the password again! Hope that helps :)

You are a dumb ass for giving out your password
ImaginaryFoe 1
Agreed. Your brother should not have been able to access your account to begin with.
