Unable To Log On
My wife brought home a computer from work that was no longer needed. Everything started normally, ran well, but then after updating windows the log on on screen appears and now needs a password. Any ideas?

Was this computer part of a domain? Try Ctrl / Alt / Delete twice and type in administrator and hit enter.

Post the make and model as well.

Yes it was, but the IT at her office removed it and there is no sign of the domain. Computer make unknown as well as model, it looks as though the IT built it from the ground up. I contacted the IT company who took care of the offfice and they did give me their admin password but nothing
