Without passwords, there is barely any security. Sometimes our passwords can be our own downfall. We do tend to forget them and may end up losing everything. Maybe you have lost a loved one and need access to their files. Situations may differ, but this is one way to log in to any computer if you forget your password. This might be tricky, so relax, get comfortable and take it slow.
