Cannot log into HP windows vista OS
I recently bought a laptop from a friend who was moving to korea and he forgot to tell me the password he had set up on the account. all i was given was the laptop and power cord and now i cannot reach said friend who moved. How do i bypass or access the boot setup to change the password to no password? I have an HP laptop running Windows Vista

Hi, Please check if this Vista system is an OEM version. If so, please try to boot into Safe Mode to check if the built-in administrator account is enabled there. If the built-in administrator is disabled and no other administrator account can be logged in, then we have to reinstall the system after backing up the important files with Command Prompt.
