Hey, i found this old computer running windows XP, pentium 3, 512 MB RAM and a 40 GB HD, but my problem is everything is password protected accept a lousy guest account in which i cant do very much. i tried booting in safe mode and loging in as the administrator but it too is password protected. so my question is this, is there any way i can gain access to administrator rights or any of the accounts? or am i outa luck, and if i cant, can i just format the HD and install a new OS? or try and restor the computer to a later date? is any of this possible without admin rights? any suggests would be great. thx.
