Q: I got a new laptop today. A guy at my mom's work left it there when he moved, and he has been contacted for about a year to come get it. He didn't come back to get it and my mom's company has been sold, so she brought the laptop home for me! The only problem is that there is a password. We don't know the password.

Is there a way to completely erase everything on the laptop, password included?

Thank you.
You should be able to reinstall windows and start fresh...
If that doesn't work, I would take it to a computer fixer (ie: geek squad at Best Buy) and see if they can wipe the hard drive.

Good Luck!

great!
