My six year old daughter loves the stuff. So yes we ate it.

My sincere condolences ... the only other "nonperishable" consumable I can think of is chewing gum - and that's synthetic rubber (basically polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate which I'd kinda expect food to be wrapped in rather than made of) 
Gawd, I hate autocorrect...

Did you ever serve in the military? You know you had a long day when they give you a small carton full of little packages that show a production date that's close to your birth date - and perfectly like it.

I remember eating a tin of liver sausage eight years older than me and it was the best ever!
The fact that I was starving and stuck in the forest with a machine gun and a radar, about fifty km from anything even resembling civilization, probably had something todo with it.

Dried food stored in vacuum-sealed containers is very close to unperishable. As you know EU has mandatory expiring dates just to be on the safe side.
It's not good food but still better than starving, and it saves many dinners (I usually use frozen goods instead of dried ones, but the cotechino usually comes dried and it has the advantage of not using up valuable freezer space).

Ah yes, me too at about the same hour. This time my girlfriend surpassed herself, it was the best lasagna she ever made - and she never made one below good quality.

Oh boy, do I have a small problem. For the past eighteen months, ever since I bought my current laptop, I have been logging into it using the fingerprint scanner as it is so much easier then typing a pin every time. We'll today I realized how dumb that whole idea is.
This morning I tried to login as usual but the scanner was failing to recognize my finger. So I would scan and rescan and rescan again trying to login in. Well I guess I tried to often.
Now I have a nice login screen that says: "Windows Hello has been blocked due to too many sign-in attempts. To unblock Hello, sign in with your PIN". There in lies the problem. I have not used my PIN in such a long time that I can not remember what it is. Now I am locked out of my own computer.
This really socks. I am hoping that someone here has an idea how to get around this login issue.
Win 10 Pro on a Lenovo E550.
Thanks in advance.

Restore from a backup, and fix the fingerprint scanner?
Or possibly, fix your finger?

How is a broken finger a problem?
Most people come with 7 spares!
(That's an impressive level of equipment redundancy only the US military can claim to beat.)

Well I do admit that the finger I use is gimped by an old work injury, but I had never thought of replacing it with a spare.

Fascinating... and no restart options? (I'm thinking safe mode / admin login - yes I'm old).
Hmmm... do you have a password as well as a pin? Maybe if the bios would let you disable the scanner you could get to different screen.
There's also that thing that people used to do with three fingers.
Yes, I know I'm useless but this is intriguing...

No restart options, just Sleep, Shut down, and Restart.
If I could remember the password I would use it. All my usual ones that I have used in the past are not working.
I tried the three finger salute but that does absolutely nothing.

Select Restart with the shift key down? Should get you some options.

Thanks. I did that and now have a bunch of options to explore and trust to figure out which one will work for me.

Ya - there's a big menu in there a few levels in that has all the safe mode options, if that will be the helpful one - I missed it the first time I went looking...
Have fun. We'll expect a full report by Monday.

Dang that autocorrect on this phone is a pain. Any way I looked at the options any one that looked might it might be helpful needs my password to continue. If I could remember my password I would not need any of those options. Sigh....

Durn... my thought was that attempting to boot into safe mode would present you with the option of logging in as the Administrator, which might be an account you remember the password for - but now that I think of it that may not apply in Win10...
Is the box tied to a Windows account? There might be a password recovery option there. Hmmm... but no... you'd probably remember that...
Hmmm... What would Holmes do...?

I will probably end up bringing it into a shop. Get them to pull the HD and copy my documents then reinstall everything. My important stuff is fully backed up but other stuff that I have been busy with has been about a week. Hate to loose it but not a big deal if I do. I just need the machine up and running sooner rather than later.

Hmmm... you remind me of a good friend who's also very dutiful about his backups. Can't say the same for myself, though zips of the current project do tend to pile up here and there.
I have a 'book' (well, half book, half collection of scraps of paper) with all manner of user/password combinations for various and such. Still get lost from time to time, but it helps.
If you can get hold of an ISO or repair disk I think stuff like this How to Reset Your Forgotten Password in Windows 10[^] could possibly work - but might be a pain to follow on a phone.

It is fixed. I brought it into the shop where I bought it from. I am not sure what they did, but they managed to save all my data. And it only cost me $30. All in all I got off lucky.

Good luck with that. IIRC W10 OEM defaults to encrypting the HDD/SSD. If that's the case I'm not sure yank and fiddle will do you any good.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Maybe it just didn't like which finger you was using on it...
