Solved: passwords
Not sure if this is the right thread, so if not I'm sorry. I just got a computer tower given to me. It is a dell dimenson 2400 with XP pro. It has a user name and password set up thru windows, not the bios screen, and I don't know what it is. Is there any way to bypass this so that I can get into windows and set up my own user name and password?
I know that I can install another OS on it, but I would rather just use what's on it.
