Hi guys, I would love some help.

 

 

 

My husband was killed in a crash two weeks ago, and I'm devastated.

 

 

 

I'm trying to pick up the pieces, and would like to get all his data/pictures.

 

 

 

His Samsung A70 was partially destroyed in the crash, and his Win10 PC is pin-locked. I don't know the pin, and it requires a microsoft authenticator app to reset. I don't have access to his email.

 

 

 

Do you have any suggestions about how I might get his PC unlocked? Or a store who would do it? I'd prefer to get into his PC so I can use his Chrome store and (PLEASE, PLEASE!) use his password store to get into his email.

 

 

 

Any recommendations about phone repair places also gratefully received.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately this is not the sort of question that can be answered on a public forum. While your situation may warrant breaking into your Husbands PC posting how to do it would most likely break the forum rules (didn't check) and could potentially assist someone with illegal activities.

 

 

 

The Best option is to seek professional help from a local PC repair shop.

 

Best of luck.

Hi, I'm sorry for your loss. I'll try to help you out on this job, free of charge.

Where are you? If you're close-ish to me, I'll do the job in person. If not, I'll send you the tools (USB drive) to do it yourself. It's not a difficult task, 10mins max.
