Could have just researched what character was being inserted by the ctrl backspace and then used the keyboard to insert the character from its ascii or unicode code to login and then changed your password before nuking your computer

    Your what? Like those things with the dial that are attached to the wall? How are you meant to do it with that?

    Easy. You whistle in binary and say modem noises. The operator will patch you through to the internet.

    I’m sure this version of windows was before phones had screens attached, and likely before the internet was ubiquitous. They likely had one computer and would have had to go somewhere else to look it up if that was even an option.

    And a time when if you had a phone capable of the internet it would probably cost 5€ per minute.

I actually did do that! I found the ASCII code but couldn’t get it inputted correctly to the password. The nuking came after I gave up and decided it wasn’t worth it. What’s life without restarting every now and then?
