 :-? Hi! I do hope someone can help me.  My daughter was given a computer by a friend of ours, this computer had not been used for some time.  When it was switched on [windows 2000] it required a user name and a password, we had the user name but our friend could not remember the password.  So it wont let her even open the desktop so we can do nothing.  please help her. thanks.

If there's nothing on that computer that you need to save, why not start with a fresh installation of Windows?  That way you won't be inheriting anyone else's problems.

 vivian....  The simplest and probably the easiest way would be to do as robpomeroy has already suggested ........ simply wipe that machine clean and then reinstall windows . In the long run , it will prove to be a much better solution .
