my father has a windows 8 computer. he has only 1 local admin account setup on it. he uses the computer daily and hasnt forgot the password, however windows is not recognizing it. there is no recovery disc, and no other user account to access. he is not computer savy, and told me he had pop ups earlier in the day about a possible virus, he explained he just turned the power off to the computer. is this a possible ransomware that has him locked out of his own computer, or some other windows error i am not finding. what are some possible solutions?
