[Hidden-tech] Bypassing Windows 10 login

[David Korpiewski]

I have used this "PCUnlocker" tool most effectively out of all of the 
tools that I've used.  Plus it will do Windows on UEFI, which there are 
few products out there that can handle UEFI.    It is not free, but it 
is something that you can burn to a CD and use multiple times.     
Anyways I recommend it.

This product is free but it can't do UEFI partitions.   I haven't tested 
it on Windows 10 but it says it will do up to Windows 8.1.  I don't know 
if thats because it can't do 10 or because the guy hasn't updated his 
page.   Very useful tool though.  I used to use it before I needed to 
swap to PCUnlocker.
