HELP!!! I was given an old laptop to use to note taking in college that runs Win95. I know that I can bypass the log-on by hitting cancel. When I try to go thought the control panel to view/change user accounts it says that it has been disabled by the Administrator. The problem is, the previous user does not know who or why this was enabled, not how do remove this. If there is an Administrator accoutn, I do not know the name or password.

Can anyone help me? I really want to clean this laptop up and removing old users is one way.

Thanks much.

Removing old user profiles on 95 isn't going to do much for you. There are no privilege levels in Windows 95. So, are you positive it's 95?

Your best bet would be to just wipe the drive and reinstall, or follow the instructions on this site on how to disable the login on the machine.

Policy editor has probably been used or installed. Type "poledit" in run line to open. You can also delete .pwl files to delete profiles.

dave, how right you are. It's been so long since I used 95/98, I completely put Policy Editor in the back of my brain. :)
