Hello:
I need to copy files from a Windows laptop. I don't have the password for the computer. I am thinking if I can logon using Linux on a USB, then maybe I will have access to the hard drive to copy the files. Is this possible? Thanks. |

Since there is no way to verify if this is your computer you are trying to "break" into I am reluctant to provide help.

Assuming that the laptop has a DVD Drive, get hold of a live distro and fire up the computer using that.
Once loaded, you should be able to access and transfer the files via Ethernet / USB stick etc. |
