Dear All

My brother has purchased a Dell laptop from his previous employer and has
asked me to obtain a Password Utility to gain access to the admin account so
he can install some software. We would rather not format and install windows
xp again. Are these utilities illegal and if they are not what is the best
one?

Thanks again...

Hi

Have you tried to log on with the original Administrator user:

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:
