Hi Kevin,

Tried calling your number but the person who answered Said I got the wrong number.

There are two possible steps that can be done either remove the password or to restore the computer completely.

I will need to know if the computer is Running with Windows 10 or what Windows version to provide you accurate steps to proceed.

I'll wait for your response or you can reach me at ***-***-****
