getting into a passworded system is easy ive had to do it in similar circumstances.
When I have a machine that needs a clean up ie has a malware problem and data needs to be recovered I ask the client to copy everything into one folder on the desktop and I rar it up then burn it to disc then scan it in a virtual machine before it goes back I do not open the folder. If there is a nasty the AV 99% of the time can delete it. It is a shame that there are so many charlatans in the trade it makes it harder for guys like me who just wants to keep clients happy so they come back and tell their friends
