locked computer

[chublake]

I have a computer that I bought from my friends work. The computer uses Windows XP. It is asking me for user name and password to login into the computer. Do I have to buy a new windows disk to overide this. What are my options here?

Thanks for the link. There is so much info there I don't know what part I should use.

What part of that will help me if I can not even log onto windows?

First off they are BOOTABLE CD's. So you do not have to get into Windows to use them.

loginrecovery - looks like you need a floppydisk drive which I don't have

Bootdisk image and Bootable CD image links are not found?

Ophcrack

Use that instead. It is not on that list. Will have to add it.

bartpe with the password renew plugin is the easiest way
