DELL Inspiron 1525

I bought a DELL Inspiron 1525 from a friend. Someone gave it to him but didn't give him a password. I want to know if there is anyway that I can reset the log in password? Its running Windows Vista Home Premium. I really need your help ASAP. Thanks!

 

Easiest and obvious answer is to ask your friend to contact the person who gave it to him and get the password.....

Other than that, is this the Administrator account username? If so, try entering no password and just clicking OK. If no password was set this would get you in.

There are ways to reset account passwords on Vista. However, as you may agree the legitimacy of telling users on an open forum how to change passwords or bypass them is open to abuse, so details on how you exactly do this won't be given at MajorGeeks.com.

 

Ah! That's what I was trying to avoid. Ask the other person for it. I guess I have no other choice than to do that. I thought there would be other ways but it seems like there isn't. Thanks!!
