Hi, new member here. Not sure if you can help me, but I think I just got taken by craigslist.
I purchased a used laptop, and cannot get past the 'network password' screen.... the person I bought it from told me that he bought a whole bunch of them when his company upgraded their equipment... but he is no longer responding to my emails and I don't have any other contact info for him other than his first name & hotmail email... so I can't get the user name/password to get into the computer - when I bought it he started it up and I guess logged in without me really noticing him doing it!
What do I do?
I do have an XP disk from before that I would like to clean install on this, but how do I get in???
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can't really afford to be out the money I paid this guy. BTW, it is an IBM Thinkpad T40 with xp installed.
