the laptop mentioned above is the old laptop i have its rather old and outdated with the OS being windows professional 2000 not xp lol
uh it froze earlier and i did ctrl+alt+del. and then restarted, then the next time i turned it on, its saying the computer has been locked, and it was my dads old laptop so he had a password for it and we cant seem to remember it lol uh... is there any way i can get past the locked feature?

That happened to me, the only way that I got it passed that, was re-install windows, through the BIOS.

ugh.
i didnt want it to come down to a format, is there any other way to bypass it?
cause... id imagine i can use some of that data thats on there.
and also its rather slow. prolly casue of the components, anything i can do hardware or software wise to speed it up

You could get an adapter and hook it up to a desktop to get any files off that you need.

is there any other way to bypass it?

possibly, but nobody will tell you here cause it's against the rules , it was your dads laptop, he dont know the password?

you will have 2 re-format if you dont know the password..
