First, sorry for your loss. I hope you are okay...

Second, it isn't against forum rules...it's against forum rules if he were trying to hack his friends computer.

I assume the computer is running windows xp? If so, then boot up into safe mode (press and hold F8 key while booting up) and see if there is an "administrator" account that is not password protected.
