i just got an ooooooooold computer (socket 7) and it has windows xp on it i do not really know who the owner was, and windows has a password. I tried clearing the bios, and took the battery off, but i still dont know how to remove the password. If any body knows, i would appreciate it
meh. you don't want to be running used windows, anyway. you don't know what kind of crap is on there. best thing to do is do at least 2 low-level formats and the install windoze.
well, if it's a prebuilt, the key is on the case. if it's not, there should be a key somewhere in the paperwork. all you have to do is borrow the appropriate disc and install away.
thanks for all the help i guess i will have to erase the 15 gig HD so with the serial on the top of the case i put into the xp cd. Then reinstall windows XP hopefully this will work
