Re: Bypassing the Password on a Deceased Person's Computer

I suggest you ask him for his court papers that acknowledge that he is the executor or representative of the estate.
Then keep a copy.
Otherwise, if he missuses the information on the computer to the detriment of other heirs you could be complicit and be sued for it.
Remote chance, but why take it for the few bucks you'd charge him.
He either has a right to the computer or he doesn't.
Besides, he can just google and find the instructions online.
That's what I did when my buddy bought a computer at a yard sale for $10, got it home, and couldn't get through the password until I found the "safe mode" instructions online. It was easy.
Thank you.

He brought me these notarized papers, and I made a copy.
Thanks again!
