Hey guys

I have been searching around on the Internet but unfortunately couldnt find much help.

I have a laptop I am giving away, I thought I would remove my profile and set up another one for my friend, i was asked to put in a password to remove my account and enter in the details for the new one. 

I thought I had done this, now when i'm trying to log in, it says wrong password, there was an option to reset password, I had to connect a flash drive, but it appears this only works if I had used that flash drive before I locked myself out.

Have I bricked my laptop?

Any help would be so much appreciated.

Thanks.
