Help

Just bought a compaq notebook from someone in my city. When I met with them and paid for the laptop the login to XP Professional worked and I wrote down the username & password. Now I'm home and can't login with the information that was provided

I have the serial number & product key for the XP I have, but no cd was supplied. They said it was purchased without a CD with it

What can I do to get in add my info?
 
Have you had a look at recent posts in this newsgroup that deal with
passwords?

Michael;
Get a hold of the seller to get the CD or at least find out how you
would reinstall Windows on the computer.
Some brands use a hidden partition instead of a CD.

You may find yourself buying Windows XP.
