    Go back to the seller and get the password. If it was properly reconditioned it should have come with some setup disks of at the very least you should have been supplied with a password.

    We get lots of requests for lost passwords, basically you are asking us to tell you how to hack in to a protected computer. The computer could be stolen for all we know.

    Take the computer with proof of ownership to a workshop and they should be able to recover the password, or alternatively reinstall the operating system from your recovery disks
