password and he will not tell anyone what it is....please help
You don't need to log in or know the Asministrator password to perform a clean installation.
Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
