OK I split tea all over my laptop (wp me) and initially it wouldn't boot up.
However now the machine is working and boots up the log in screen. I have tried entering my password a gazillion times but windows is saying it's incorrect. I've checked loads to ensure I am typing it in correctly and I deffo am.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening? I've not backed it up (again wp me) so can't reset the pw.
Does windows 7 premium have a default password? Is there anything I can do? Can't even run system restore without getting past the log in screen

Did the tea go over the keyboard. If so there's a good chance that some of the keys won't be working on the keyboard, you can try plugging an external keyboard in then try entering your password. If all else fails throw it against the wall, count to ten and then let off as many expletives as necessary followed up by a visit to PC World or Comet.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

George, you pretty much have to wait til it has dried out completely takes a few days, then you will know if any of the keys are defunct. If it still doesnt work fully, depending on the laptop, you can just purchase a new keyboard and replace it. Laptop's are quite resilient when liquid is spilt on them, and usually replacing the keyboard is all that is needed rather than having to replace the whole laptop.
