    bypassing windows start up
    « on: May 03, 2014, 08:45:59 AM »
    i have an unusual problem. i bought a hp desktop dc5800 sff on ebay. when i got the pc i hooked it up and turned it on.windows 7 pro starts loading but is password protected and i can't get a response back from the seller. its been 3 days. how can i reinstall windows to get around this. i have a new windows cd but the desktop won't read the disc on reboot, it just keeps trying to load the 7 pro and asking me for the password.

    You need to set the PC to boot to the DVD drive in the Bios...
    Then press F 10 to "save changes and exit"...
