Is there anyway to just bypass or erase an administrative password or just get rid of the whole network part of the computer system. I am using an old work computer from a company I don't know and am just trying to install software and hardware and it won't let me. It's frustrating.
 
I think you would have less problems if you just reformated the harddrive and reloaded the operating system. Then you would be able to start fresh and have fewer problems with the computer. That is what I would do.
 
how do i get it reformatted? do i have to have a copy of windows xp on disc to reload? i am so clueless.

Yea. You should then be able to do a clean install by booting from the cd.

You would need to get copy of what ever operating system you want to install.
 
Simply, the "Offline NT Password & Registry Editor" boot floppy should work. [link] :)

other option of course would be to re-install the operating environment which you will need a retail copy of Windows to do, or a system restore disc if you have one.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
