Windows Log In Password

[rsharpspot]

I recently inherited a laptop with Windows XP that immediately loads to the
Windows Log In.....I don't have the administrator or user passwords.....can I
bypass this an recreate a password or turn off the password...??

Sometimes the Admin password is blank (no password). See if this works for
you.

restart the computer, during the Bios download press F8 and start in safe
mode, clic in the "administrator" account if does open that mean that you can
change and create a new full administrator account and delet the old
accounts. If doesn't open is password protected and you can't do anything
unless that you try to find a tool to obtain the password or reinstall the os
