It has windows 10 on it. But he has to find the code in his email.
He found it but no books or papers were with it. I cannot get to
anything on this computer except the CMOS.
Please tell us what message(s) appear on the console screen when you
try to boot Windows.
It asked for the code sent to his email. He could not get to his email
since the damn computer would do nothing but
Please enter the code _______
So, when you power up the computer, it goes through the power-on self
test (POST) and displays a challenge page with the following prompt:
Please enter the code
And, there is no way to bypass the challenge page.
Is there anything else displayed on the screen? Logos? Pictures?
Copyright notices? Any clues?
Is this how the computer arrived from Amazon? If not, who produced the
software that implements the challenge page? AOL? What is the software
support web page URL?
So, your friend obtained the code from AOL by some other means. What
happens after you enter the code?
Has the data on the computer been backed up by some means that it can be
restored using Debian GNU/Linux?
