Guest TheLibrarian Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Can you do a factory re-image? That way you should get to choose the password yourself.

Guest TheLibrarian Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 They don't always require a CD, in fact most don't these days - it's a key press during the BIOS / POST screen. Could be worth a check.

mhussain Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 does anyone know software that tells you the password on boot up?
tumbleweed Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 No, but you can reset it with a little linux utility - chntpw. It's included in quite a few distro's by default, can't remember offhand but google will tell you. Find one, get unetbootin to create a bootable flashdrive, away you go ...
