Hi, a recent acquaintance has recently died at an early age. He has a large Database containing Info going back many years.
We need to access these but his Computer is Password Protected and no one can get into it.
Please note this is what has been relayed to me, I have not been near it.
Surely, and only after the Drive has been cloned, there must be a number of options available
1. Take the Cloned Drive and plug it into a 2nd Computer and access the drive to copy the Database?
2. Attempt to bypass windows Password on the boot screen?
3. check if more than 1 HHD or SSD is fitted and check if the Database on them?
4. Take it to a Professional for access.
I can`t imagine that such a computer Savvy operator never kept backups OFF the Computer, i.e. Flash Drive, Portable Drive, DVD`s etc.
Alas, the Widow is a little unapproachable at present due to the loss of her husband.
Does any of my suggestion seem feasible/
and can you suggest anything else I may have missed?
