No I havn't nicked it!
I have inherited a laptop running Windows XP from a relative who has given me their password to get past the first screen. They havn't used the laptop for a good few months now.
When I get the password prompt I enter the given password (all lower case-yes I checked). The machine doesn't reject it immediately but goes onto a screen saying 'welcome' whilst the centre bit spins .After about 30 seconds it goes back to the log in screen saying incorrect password. Relative is adamant I have the correct password.
Any ideas about how I can circumvent this bit and remove the password?
Thanks in advance
