737498 2009-01-11 18:58:00 My dad got released from his company, and they allowed him to retain his laptop. I removed it from the domain, and realised there is no local accounts apart from the Admin, which no-one knows the password to. Is there any way to retrieve it? aidanmaz (7180)
737499 2009-01-11 19:05:00 You can't retrieve it, but you can reset it.

extract the ISO & burn it to a CD, then boot the laptop off it.

I'm surprised that the company didn't keep/destroy the hard drive when they gave your father the laptop.

Burn the ISO to cd/dvd set boot from cd/dvd and away you go.
Read the website tutorial if you get stuck.

The IT guys at his company would know. All he had to do was ring them.
