security

[Agnes]

I have a laptop that i got from my last company. it has
Window XP installed on it. i would like to remove all the
security set up by the administrator so that i can have
full control of the computer. Every time i start the
computer i have to log in as i was still working on the
network and i can not install any hardware or software
because i do not have the administrator rights...I am not
longer at that company. please help

Did you get the XP CD with the computer?

If so, boot the computer with the CD, select to do a clean
install by formatting the drive and starting over.

If you have contact with the company and did not steal the
laptop the IT department might reset the computer for you.

If you didn't get the XP CD when you stole the computer,
it's your tough luck. If you didn't steal it and the IT
department won't help you'll just have to buy a retail XP
full install CD.
