is Windows 10 worth it

[BigT]

Last year I bought one of those little Hi8 dual android/win tablets that where popular on here so as to run Mission Planner without lugging the laptop about. However as said earlier I managed to lock myself out of windows as I didnt make a recovery disc or whatever. So I now need to do a complete reinstall of windows 10 but cannot get past the first log in page. I want to get this tablet working as I want to sell it PDQ as I dont want to fly Multi Copters any longer. Any ideas from you experts as to the way forward please?

Is the login username a Live account? If so you can reset the password by visiting:

https://account.live.com/password/reset

I did not put any password or details in, it was some knob at the flying site being clever. I have tried that reset but I dont know enough for it to work. I have tried too many times on the tablet and now win 10 wont even let the keyboard work, is it some kind of extra security? The Android side works fine.

I have absolutely no idea - but I think this is probably not the fault of Windows 10. I mean I could lock myself out of my laptop if I wanted to by asking someone to change my password for me and not tell me. I could even do it to my bank account - shall I change banks?

I know its not directly a Win10 issue, but it must be possible to get into this some how. I bet the police could! It wont even connect to the PC, cant even switch it back to Android now.

Any chance you could ask the 'knob at the flying site' what exactly he / she did ?

This solution looks good.

I tried that but as I dont have a live account or a MS mail account etc I cannot fill enough of the boxes in to qualify for a code. Another catch 22.

If your Tablet has a USB port - try this -

I have handed the Chuwi Hi8 over to a proper computer man to sort out, he said it would be simple, just a matter of doing a fresh install of Win 10 he said, I have all the proper gear to do that he said. Oh and I will need the ms account that was used to set up the password. Eejit, if I anyone knew that I would have been able to,do,it myself. Grrrrrrrr!!!

How about I give it to the police and tell them I suspect there's naughty stuff in the memory, bet they could get in to it tout suite

The police would not be able to "get into it", all they would do is physically remove the hard drive and scan it for "naughty" stuff.

Really? Foiled again!!!! Anyway let's see what the "expert" can do!
