Former office computer, need help setting up for home use

Hello!

I purchased a desktop computer from my old company before they went out of business. I'm trying to set it up for home use and am having some problems.

What i'm trying to fix:

The computer requires a username and password (which the company gave me), but now I am trying to remove this option and have the computer just startup without the password prompt.

Also, I cannot enter safe mode. The computer wants me to sign in as an administrator and that I dont have a password for.


About the system:

When the computer was in the office, it was hooked up to an in-house server. I have no details on what kind.

Its a PC and running Windows XP professional.

Thanks!

Hello,

To reset the Administrator Password.

Trinity Rescue Kit:

You will have to burn the bootable iso with something like Imgburn.
