Uninstalling Novell Client

[Emily]

I recently acquired a Gateway laptop from my mom that she used to use at work.  It has Novell Client installed and whenever I start the computer, I am given a window asking for a password.  Neither my mom or I know the password.  In addition, since I am not in the network or whatever that she had at work, is that affecting this as well? What can I do? I just kinda want it off my computer, but I can't find anything online.  Everything I have seen involves being able to actually log on to the computer, which I can't do.  HELP!!

log on to the computer using the admin. account.  If your loggin on to the computer using the admin account Novell really doesn't matter, just make sure workstation only is checked and your computer name is highlighted You have to delete EVERYTHING!!!!! that has to do with Novell in the C: drive.  This should help the problem.

log on to the computer using the admin. account.

Doesn't that require a password, which was stated as unknown?


Emily:  Do you have a copy of an operating system which you can install on the computer?
