Copy files you need from internal drive to usb or transfer via network

Tower? I'm confused.

Arch is too complicated, even to install, I'm sure. You're talking to someone that can't even use command line, BTW. Also, maximum overkek at:

How does this work, in short? And what distro? Debian? How does one mount an .ISO installer to a USB? Yes, I'm that dumb.

How new are you? Use any Linux LiveCD (or an old Windows bootdisk) to boot, connect a thumb drive or external HDD, copy files. It's really not that hard.
Sage'd, this is a really stupid fucking thread and you should've asked in the Stupid Questions Thread or better yet, done some research yourself.

How2delete/rewrite files on the drive after? Or is DBAN the answer?

>>62119630
Download Ubuntu LiveCD, burn the ISO onto a CD, change boot order in the BIOS to try the optical drive first, select the live cd option when promoted. You have a fully functioning OS you can use to copy files.

>>62119630
you don't even need to install it. just use it to reset the password

>>62119684
If it's very sensitive or incriminating data then destroy the drive. Otherwise a normal reformat using parted and mkfs
