I bought a 80GB HD w/ Windows XP off of Ebay and of course when I got it home it had a administrative password on it, I can use it and everything but I cannot add or delete programs and add music (which is why I bought it in the 1st place)
It keeps asking me for the administrative password, I emailed the seller but he said he buys HDs in bulk from leased computers so he said has no idea what it is
Does anyone know how to "reset" so to speak the administrative password OR MAYBE "reset" the HD and erase everything on it EXCEPT Windows XP
If anyone knows how to completly erase the HD and tells me if I do "reset" it I cannot keep anything on the HD, is there a way I can load my Windows XP from my current 40GB HD to the 80GB HD??
Sorry If I sound ignorant, I really dont know too much technical things about computers
Thanks everyone for any help!!!
