reinstall windows

I assume the OS is Vista, just follow this link http://www.walkernews.net/2007/04/10/hack-windows-vista-logon-account-password/
3 :
Try contacting the person you bought the laptop from and see if they know the admin password. If the seller does not know it then, unfortunately, you will have to reinstall the operating system, regardless if it is Windows or Linux.
4 :
Never buy a used PC without a legal factory supplied copy of Windows or the factory Recovery Disks (AND the PC User Manual). Assuming you have one of them, RTFM. The User Manual explains exactly how to reset your PC to "Factory Fresh". This will remove all the former owner's passwords, installed programs and data.
5 :
sometimes you can reboot into safe mode and turn off the password. if you can't then you'll have to reinstall windows or whatever OS

Hewlett-Packard AMB
Which brand of laptop would you get, gateway or hewlett-packard?
I am using it for college, surfing net, digital camera stuff, listening to music, etc. Which brand has the least problems overall? My two choices of laptops are between a Hewlett-Packard AMB Turion 64 mobile technology ML-37 model DV5224NR or a Gateway Platinum Edition Notebook with AMD Turionâ„¢ 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 Model: MX6455

I would choose the HP because Gateway has slipped in the last few years. They've closed all their stores and you don't see ads like you did in the 90's.
3 :
Neither one. A dell explodes much better
4 :
Well, I have gateway and think it is awesome but HP is also real good. I would ask a computer expert or someone at the store about it.. they can help better. either way both laptops are great.
5 :
I would go for an Acer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115250
6 :
Do you realy have to choose between the two? But anyway you may want to consider Dell brand... :~)
7 :
I have a gateway, im in college, and it has work fine. I love it. But it all depends in you.
8 :
Stay away from HP. Quality is poor and they are a bear to get repairs on once out of warranty. My wife's HP laptop went to the shop four times under warranty (yes, in ONE YEAR) and then went to an indepdent shop twice more before we got rid of it. Gateway is all right. Nothing great. Dell will cost less and probably work better. Best laptops (right now) are Lenovo Thinkpads and Sony Vaios. (Not counting Macs, but I'm assuming you want a pure PC -- even though current Macs CAN boot Windows...) Toshiba is a good bet for an inexpensive laptop as they are generally high quality and easy to configure. Dell is always a popular option, but keep in mind, there's a reason they're so cheap. The premium on a Thinkpad will get you better support and a better machine.

I have an HP, which has been sent back three times for repairs. Now it's past warranty and it needs to go in again - all for the same reason - where the ac adapter plugs in, it quits making the connection so the battery can't charge.
10 :
Skip those two and go with Dell
11 :
I have always found Toshiba to be a good value and highly reliable.
12 :
That's a tough question. I own an HP laptop that I am very happy with, and support about 150+ Gateway notebooks at my job. In my experience, Gateway has provided me with excellent service, high quality equipment, and an excellent website for help, driver upgrades, and technical support. I'd say Gateway, simply from my own extensive experience with them.
13 :
With so many choices out there I can see why people people have a difficult time choosing. I have used and worked on all brands and while Dell, Gateway and Hewlett Packard are great companies to deal with I have recently swayed my personal opinion over to HP. Technology changes so rapidly and the type of work I do I needed a laptop which was capable of being "a portable pc" with the latest and greatest. After extensive research Hp offered more bang for my buck and I absolutly love my new lap top. I chose a pentium 4 processor good stuff
14 :
I wouldnt go with either of these cheap pieces of shit.

none of them, get better computers here, and cheaper : www.tiger-direct.com
2 :
of the 3 mac but any pc will do unless you have a specific thing you want to do . my advice buy a mid to high end system and get at least a 2 year warranty
3 :
Dell: I think macs are hard 2 use and they dont run Windows!!! HP's suck period.
4 :
Apple (iMac) uses OSX not XP so if you want XP (and who wouldn't want all those viruses and security flaws - keeps life interesting) then cross the iMac off your list. Nothing much to choose between Dell & HP as brands. You need to compare specific models against your desires and budget.
