    I bought a PC off the streets. a 3GHZ with 1G of ram. This computer had a system password which I was able to delete. I finally get to go on the pc to see whats on it until I see like 4 user accounts that are password protected. Is there anyway I can delete these accounts passwords if I get into DOS? This computer oddly does not have a floppy so running a program through a floppy is out of the question. Someone Hook it up.
    Thanks

    I am not 100% sure, but I feel lucky...

    I would say, your best bet is to format with a windows xp disc, and just start over, who knows what stuff is on that computer anyway...



    good luck.


    oh yeah welcome to majorgeeks!

    Ask the seller for the passwords or log in as administrator in safe mode.

    the administrator account probably has a password, I think XP ask for one during install

    XP pro will ask for a password during install. XP home will not. :)
