Mollox Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Is it a Bios block or a windows password that's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hmm dunno about that specifically but I imagine you're going to want: - a clean system - a lean system - a more modern operating system So for £60 odd quid I'd format the HD and pop a copy of XP on it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopsta Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Or find yourself a lil util which boots into xp/2000 without the admin password, then you can reset it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
