I was just wondering
if there's a way to open
a computer that contains password ?

I'm not having a problem with this
but just in case
maybe i will face it

What operating system would we be talking about?

If its a startup bios password you can bypass that by removing the cmos battery for a minute or two, as for getting in a windows installation that youve lost your password for, I would recommend plugging the passworded hard drive into another system and taking the data you need from it.

There are a few options, recovery CD etc. The best thing you can do is create another account with Administrator rights, and then set it to a password you write down somewhere and keep super safe. That way if anything every happens to your every day account you can log in with the other admin account.

The Only Way I Know Of Is To Restore The Computer But You Will Lose ALL Of Your Data.
