    Call the local law enforcement agency and turn it in as found property. Get a report number.
    I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!

      boot into safe mode, log in using the hidden admin account, reset password for the username you are trying to get into. Windows has really rubbish security.
      You guys are going a little too far with the whole government conspiracy thing. Every college student these days locks their laptops.
      Chances of returning laptop to its owner through law enforcement or Dell are pretty low. So best bet would be to unlock it.

            I used to run Windows 7 Ultimate, All versions.

            But, of course, they were all cracked versions. I now run legal copies of Win 7 Pro.

              Since when has Dell offered Windows 7 Ultimate N as an OS option? I'm pretty sure the N editions (no Media Player) are only an option in Europe.

                This hasn't worked since XP.

                  yeah, 7 does not have a functioning Admin account by default. the local admin is the first account you are forced to create.

                  and the "hiddent admin" was never hidden. its right there in the users list.

                    All the Dells have the lojack installed in the Bios - but it may not have been activated. If it has, it will transmit your IP to the security company. If it was reported stolen, then the owner gets notified. Not good, as the user can access the machine remotely, let alone cooperate with police. Go with the other suggestions and file a police report.
                    If it has any non-public information, you don't want to be accused.

                      so when you crack it let us know if there are 18+ nudes
                      None of my posts are serious or real, nothing I post is legal advice.
