              After booting Windows, I was still asked to enter a login password when I tried to get into my laptop.

                  i have seen this, the laptop is probably uefi and not easy - but:
                  if you take out the harddrive and put it in another laptop, you can then probably run DaRT boot disk and wipe the password or create a shadow root-admin account.

                        no, the bios has been set to only boot from the harddrive, and then locked.

                          So he must set the Bios to boot from the disk he created ,
                          Or try password reset tool , which can do all the work .
                          Like these programs :

                            your not listening, the bios is password-locked - he cant change shit.
                            (and he hasnt named the laptop)

                            the only option is to clear the windows password from another machine.

                              I have this inexplicable problem from yesterday

                              Each time i start my laptop by pushing the physical power button in, the laptop keyboard and touchpad are available to me for use when the system has booted to the desktop (I can enter the bios by pressing on F10 too) irrespective of whether the laptop is powered by the AC adapter or the battery. This is normal behaviour

                              BUT NOW FOR THE ABNORMAL PART

                              However, when using the laptop normally, if i choose restart from the power options, the touchpad and mouse are non-functional when the system has booted to the...

                              MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX (MS-16R6) LAPTOP WON'T TURN ON AFTER RESTARTING
                              by RdeveLabs
                              To all the members here...

                              Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.

                              So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But...
