Help with restoring computer to factory settings

Hi Everyone,

My dad brought home a computer from work and it still has all of his companies software on it. I was thinking of restoring it to factory settings but since its a company computer he doesn't have the cd for windows xp. I tried just making a new user but it would not let me because im not the computer administrator(im on his account). If i restore it to factory settings will windows xp dissapear? I do not have a lot of expertise with computers so any help would be appreciated. My main goal is to restore the computer so that i can just have the one user and not have all of the companies work software. Sorry for the trouble, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Since you haven't supplied any system specs, Make and model of computer, we can't help you too much.

 

Oh sorry,

Ughh, Its an IBM think center, with windows XP/Pro. Its also got an intel pentium 4 (well that's what the sticker says).

Im sorry thats all i know.

Thank you Puppywunder58, even if you can not help thanks for trying
