lol...
if it was so easily over-rideable then it wouldnt be a security measure!

according to hollywood u should cut off the thumb and then use it...
according to bollywood u should use the gunie from '16 december'...
according to lollywood just use a human bomb...
according to me u should either reinstall or send the laptop via post to ur cousin to remove the lock.

u can also explore remote login options...
or may be try to login using the administrator account :)

btw 13thfeb is not that far away... so u could just chill also.

If you know how to take out finferprints from things then take his fingerprint from the fingerprint recognizer if it has been used once or ask your cousin to mail you his fingerprint.

You cannot override this thing, or call your cousin to get a Master Key then inout it on the screen which comes up for finger print option
This (applies only for Microsoft FPR) canr say for anything else..

BUT YOU MUST HAVE THE MASTER KEY ... :D
