Do you know the wonder that is konboot? It works on every version of windows with old school offline accounts, it even works/worked on Linux and it leaves no trace.

I had not heard of it before. I would have just booted a Linux Live USB. So long as there's no disk encryption, you can just access the hard drive in the laptop like any other data disk.

Or in other words, I'm actually not even trained/informed about hacking. I just accidentally acquired this knowledge by installing Linux at some point. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

You can do the same with the windows install/repair or any other bootable os. I kept konboot around for when I was working on someones pc and they forgot to tell me the password or they forgot it.
