How do reformat my Vista Laptop?
- About 6 months ago I broke my computer and I just recently got it fixed. The only problem is I forgot the password. Is there any way or any disk I can use to wipe out all of the memory?

secure hard drive erasure
Our Rating:
Dariks Boot and Nuke (DBAN) runs from a bootable CD or DVD disk, and securely deletes (wipes) the entire content of the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect. The program is perfect for cleaning a computer before giving it away or selling it. You will download an ISO file, that needs to be burned to a CD.

You will have to wait to download it, as they are doing Maintence on the SourceForge Website.
Cheers.
