Boot a LIVE DVD from a linux distribution and use it's file manager to find all the files you wish to save to other media like a USB flash drive.
So, here’s the deal. When I was nine I received a Dell Inspiron 1545, and it worked wonderfully. Now I’m eighteen and I want to get into it again because I need a VM. So today I tried to get back into it and I don’t know the password at all. I can’t access anything through it and I’ve tried out every tutorial on the internet that covers it. I also just finished CS50 with Harvard to get my technology certification, and if my ******* can’t figure it out, I feel like nobody can. I’m frustrated, hopeless, and ready to rip my head off.
Here’s a YouTube video that I made for further detail.
Thank you so much!
