| 530585 | 2007-03-06 07:20:00 | I couldnt give two Hoots about should the school have sold it with XPpro on it or not, I certainly didnt ask the question, " should the school have sold it" All I want to do is Get into the Dam Computer. Ide Hate to go to a Party and meet you Guys you would Bore the Pants off me. If you dont know the Answer Go and take a walk or Talk to the Kids, Get a Life..Right. I suspect then that you didn't get a valid license, and as such you've technically got a pirated (ie illegal) version of XP installed on the machine. Solution: put your own XP CD into the drive, and install XP onto the computer, formatting the hard drive in the process. That way you can set your own password and don't have to worry about the school's password. If you don't have an XP CD, then you'll probably need to buy one. Mike. |

Did you get a media CD with your purchase? A rescue CD or genuine WinXP CD? If not, then you have been sold illegal software. If you have your own XP CD, use that. Otherwise download Linux -- at least that'd be legal. |

| 530587 | 2007-03-06 21:23:00 | Wether illegal or not (I hear XP is going EOL at the end of March - is that true??), the Emergency Boot CD will allow you to clear all XP logon passwords. I'd be more worried that the thing is looking for a domain controller, in which case, if you can't get into windows to change that, you need to reinstall anyway. (Although, you should still be able to log into the local machine is it is still set up to access a Domain) |

| 530588 | 2007-03-06 21:32:00 | Also if it was on a school network, it's likely to have quite a few things changed in the group policy - 'corporate security' type settings. It depends on the school as to how locked-down the system may be. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 530589 | 2007-03-06 21:45:00 | One WinXP Pro password for sale. Going cheap. Apply within. :D :thumbs: Kidding of course... but all the respondents who're critisising the poor bugger... there's often legit reasons for wanting to bypass passwords on systems... I had a similar situation last year when I bought a bunch of computers from a deceased estate. The deceased wasn't prepared to resurrect himself to give me the passwords! :dogeye: |

| 530590 | 2007-03-07 01:49:00 | Nobody has asked whether Ockerr paid a price for which he could reasonably expect to get working software? Or (as one in a collection of old machines), it was sold cheap - as hardware only? I like a gamble, too. But they don't all pay off. |

| 530591 | 2007-03-07 01:59:00 | Thank you Greg At last some one read my Message and understood. Earlier when I was Critical of the replies Someone commented that I was Rude and would not make a similar comment at a Meeting. Oh Yes I would, I have no time for these sort of people, People who decide to change the subject to Boost there own ego, usually do not last long in Business, If you cant answer a question, Keep quiet and learn something, of all the replies there was only a few that actually tried to answer the original questions. To those that were interested, Yes I do have original XPpro Disks, I could Format the Drive, But as I asked I Just want to Access the already version that's on the Drive. No its Not the Bios Password, As I said its the Admin Password, I cant recall anyone in the Computer Buisness ever relating the Bios Password as the Admin Password. Thank you all for your Helpful advice I have really leant a Lot |

Thank you all for your Helpful advice I have really leant a LotI'm sorry, but I just cannot believe how rude you are to people who are actually here trying to help solve your problem. Sure some might have gotten side-tracked, but so what, people do that. People here voluntarily give their time to try to help people solve some problems, and sometimes their answers aren't right and don't work, but that's what you get for wanting something free. If you want the correct answer NOW, then I suggest you pay a professional to find it for you. You didn't specify whether you had original disks, which is why that was asked. You didn't say that you could format it but would rather do otherwise, and you didn't tell us what kind of experience you had with computers. A lot of people come here with absolutely no idea what they're doing, and we have to try to give simple answers and often ask what might be stupid questions like whether it's the BIOS password or XP password. And yes, a lot of people DO confuse different passwords in different places. And it's not always easy for us to guess whether you know or not. Next time, instead of flaming everyone for not answering, how about you show a little patience, give a little more info, and be more helpful when people ask different (maybe stupid) questions of you.
