Lost password

Asked by stefan polson

Having not used my crappy EEPC for many months i cannot remember my password. The login screen comes up and i enter passwords then get the Auentication Failure message. I have read many, many persons advice on this site but cannot seem to get anywhere. Pressing SHIFT or EXIT during start up does not bring up the same options as people are saying, can anyone help?
