I'd really like to use Linux to do this....
i looked through the steps and step two leaves me wondering:
Step 2 Start That PC:
Turn on the UPS and the CPU, tap F8 continuously on the boot screen to get
some windows start-up options .
Choose "Start windows normally" option and turn the UPS off immediately.
Then turn on the PC again, let it load.
After that you will be prompted with two options in the boot screen
(again), select the first option - "Launch Start-up Repair(recommended)"
Well if you turn off the UPS won't that shut the computer off?

I have used this before. It works well. because once you have the command
prompt (in this case it is automatically elevated) you can use commands to
reset passwords etc.

This is the same workaround, but it includes password resets.

Something happened where it no longer recognizes it's password. Is there a
way to change her password to get in. ALTERNATIVELY: if I can't change the
password and get in how can i recover her data?
Can I possibly use the linux method of recovering a password? (I can't find
the directions on how to do it but) I think you do it by booting a live
disk and entering single user mode (how do you do that). It will start in
tty and you type in passwd and the password that you want. (please tell me
if that is correct as I want that for my 'computer instructions' folder.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
