If they have all the serial numbers model numbers they set it up from day one. Could they access it from another place by using another system? Wireless or other? What can be done to block them by a new owner?
Without the vent hose attached PROPERLY to an exterior vent, the MOISTURE in the heated vent air as well as any lint etc. that is being discharged will be vented DIRECTLY into the house. Not only can this encourage MOLD production VERY quickly with the associated health impacts on YOU, the mold damage will likely be YOUR FINANCIAL RESPRESPONSIBILITY(AKA kiss you deposit goodbye!!!) Venting the HEATED Moist Air and Lint into the household air will also dramatically add to your summer AC bills, and add to the general maitmaintenanceund the department from the added dust. If the Dryer is provided by the LANDLORD, then he is likely responsible for seeing to it that it has been installed properly. ASK them to fix the connection in WRITING, to protect yourself, as well as get the issue resolved If you provided the Dryer but the LANDLORD was supplying the LaudLaundryk ups as part of your lease, then they are responsible to see that the venting to the exterior is installed and operating properly but you would likely be responsible for making the hook up between you dryer and their vent system. All this requires generally is a properly sized vent hose and a couple of appropriately sized vent hose clamps. You can get these from any major appliance store. Your best bet is to go to the store the Dryer cam from with the Make and Model of the Dryer you have. (MeaMeasuringe O.D. of the Dryer Vent Outlet and the O.D. or dimdimensions the Vent Connection should be all you need to get the proper items from the Appliance store.)
Lock which part of the laptop? There's a BIOS lock (during boot up it asks for a password or you cannot boot) or to get into Windows. Which is it? For the first scenario, the easiest thing to do would be to open up the laptop and remove the CMOS battery, which effectively erases the settings and the password. For the second scenario, it's a little bit more in-depth.
