Hey all Bought a compaq armada laptop at a garage sale.... lady said she couldn't get it to work..... When it boots up it asks for a username and password to logon to the domain... is there anyway around this or a easy way to get it to work ?? Any tools to get it to work ??

Format it. Without the admin password or access you have a nice boat anchor. if it has a floppy drive you can try one of the nt password change programs. Google it. Imagine the power of knowing how to internet search http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/Teachin...

Does anybody bother searching this site anymore, or do they just look for a quick fix without exerting any effort? Life's more painless for the brainless.

try typing 'administrator' into the username field and then leave the password blank. that often works because people are too lazy to set such a password. Medion MIM 2080 Toshiba T2130CT Macintosh Performa 450 All working wonderfully.

Hi Jennifer LOL This gets asked at least a couple times a month. Along with NTLDR missing, etc ad nauseum. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
