    Accessing a Deceased Loved One's Computer

    Hello. I’m new to this forum.

    I recently had a close relative who passed away unexpectedly, and left his computer and a variety of other items. For my father, I was willing to see if I could get access to it.
    I am not as technically savvy as him, though. Here is what comes up when the computer turns on.

    His CPU contain a Lenovo build in which the Lenovo shell was replaced with a CA-S340MB-GB (NZXT S340 Mid-Tower Chassis).

    Lenovo shell:

    Chassis:

    Is there any way to access this computer? I’m currently out-of-town and my parents are the only ones in the same house as the computer, so I would redirect them from there.
    Or do you have any other recommendations?

      While we will not help you with getting around passwords we can advise you as to how you can have this resolved using legitimate means, take the computer to a reputable tech local to you or have them come to you, you will need proof of ownership such as the sales invoice, picture ID such as a driving licence/passport and proof of your address such as a recent utility bill.
