Standard PC Boot Screen

The PC Login Now disc you just burned is a bootable disc, meaning it contains a small operating system and software which operate independently of the operating system on your hard drive.

This is exactly what we need in this situation because you can't access the operating system on your hard drive right now because you don't know the password.

Insert the PC Login Now disc into your optical drive and then restart your computer.

The initial screen you see after restarting should be the same one you always see immediately after starting your computer. There may be computer information as pictured above or there may be a computer manufacturer logo.

PC Login Now begins to load after this point in the boot process, as shown in the next step.
