locked out of computer, dell vostro 1500 laptop, running windows xp pro. States I need the admin password which has somehow been changed.
Such questions are asked almost every day on this forum.
Contact the manufacturer and be prepared to prove ownership.
Thanks. Bought at a pawn shop so think I've been duped
Did it work when you bought it? 1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks. The rest are by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.
It never ceases to amaze me at the number of people that buy a laptop from from the pawn shop of some guy they met down the pub without first checking that it worked. I wish I could sell black boxes and call them lap top computers so easily.

i am not jefro but i read his question and your reply, and i have the same problem. Mine did work when it was first given to me. I was able to access the internet , read e-mail, and play internet games. Then after turning the thing off, the next time i turned it on it said i needed a hardware password. Why do i need it now, and didn't need it before? any assistence will be greatly appreciated.
