Ok so my brother gave me his old tower and it has XP on it but the problem is that he has a dif. password to everything he has ever needed a password for and cant remember what his log in was for this computer(cause he has had it in his closet for 6 months) Pease if anyone can tell me if there is a way to get that password or bypass it altogether.He dosent have any of the software he used to install XP so i cant do a system wipe or a reinstall that way.ty very much to all thoughs that replie to this and any info u guys could give me is very welcome.1 person needs an answerI do too

first id like to say thank you for resonding so fast. but the problem is we dont have the XP install disk that was used to install XP on that computer, but i have asked a friend if he had his XP install disk and he said he did now i was wondering if it has to be the same disk that was used to install XP or can it be any XP install disk?

You're welcome. I would like to inform you that If you have installed Windows XP service pack-2 then you would have to arrange any windows XP service pack-2 CD same for windows XP service pack-3, you would have to arrange any windows XP service pack-3 CD. Please reply, If you face any problem.K M JHA Technical Support Executive (INDIA)
