Somebody asked this question before. Yes, there is a way to take control of the computer. But first a question or two.
1. How did you get into this situation? If you were doing an unproven experiment, you surely would have a backup method that would restore things to the original state.
2. Has someone else in your company, family or others deliberately locked you out of this computer?
We ask this because sometimes people come here to learn how to "crack" a computer that has been restricted.

If you wish to get into the PC, you will have to boot from another device. Maybe a floppy, a USB dongle or a CD. Then you have to find where the password is kept and destroy it. But there can be more to it that that. If the PC was locked with high-level security, even that will not work.

So would you like to explain how this came about?
