I recently purchased two used computers. I asked for them to be wiped and have windows 2000 reinstalled. I told them to use the password of "hockey" but alas they did not. Now I have two computers but no passwords to open them...I have read the previous responses but nothing has worked so far that I have tried...Anyone have any ideas of how to repair this issue (and not buy a program for unlocking)?

Any help is much appreciated : )

Exactly. I would ask whoever "They" may be what passwords were entered into the system.

Did they put a hint in there beside the box where your password goes
As Jennifer says contact them and find out what they used for a password

Are you saying you cannot get it to boot; that it's asking for a bios-pasword? Or are you saying it boots to a standard logon screen (asking for user-name/password)?

I don't suppose they bothered to give you a WIndows CD either?
