Ok, the situation is this. I recieved a computer from a friend who I am no longer friends with. He had put a password on the computer before giving it to me. Why I will never know. I mean why the *censored* would you put a password on a computer give it to a friend and not tell him what the password was. Anyhow, I have been trying every word I can think of that could be the password and none of them work. I used Ophcrack to try and break the password but the ophcrack program says that the password is "not found" in the location where it is supposed to list the password for the computer. Now, As stupid as it may sound I actually tried "not found" as a password and it didn't work. So, I was hoping their was a guru out their that could tell me how to figure out this password or remove this password.
Thank you,
Kizzle

If you are talking about the admin password, you can Google it. If you are talking about the bios password, we cannot help you.

Well I'm talking about the windows log in password for the administration account. I have googled it the only thing I find is Ophcrack. Which states the password is "not found"

Here is an idea.....why not give your ex-friend a call? What can it hurt? All they can do is hang up.

They might say "Bizzle my shizzle, 'cos the hand ain't listenin' " (That's how young Americans talk nowadays, I believe?) :) Tee hee

there r tools to break the password of admin first download Password Unlocker Bundle 5.5 or Erd commander then burn the core process ISO image file of diz tool onto a CD or DVD, and proceed to use the CD/DVD to reset the password to be blank, that is empty!
then
a). Insert the newly created CD/DVD into the locked computer. Reboot the computer from the CD/DVD. When the CD/DVD boots, you'll see Windows Password Unlocker 4.0 is initializing. If so, go on with the next step. If the computer still boots from Windows, it's necessary to change BIOS boot sequence to boot it from CD/DVD.
