Solve : Hacking into Old Computer!!?

Answer»

I was just given the task by my boss to clean up an old computer that has been sitting out for God knows how long. I set it up and it came on. . . good news!! The problem I have is that I need a password to get in and work on it. Sadly no one in the office knows it, as a matter of fact we aren't really sure if the PERSON who used to work on it is still with us.

The computer is a Dell Dimension 4100, if that helps any!!

:-?
How can I get past the password?
GUESS!!! Quote

GUESS!!!

Guess what??

The password LOL,Yes, then, I should start NOW see if I find it before I die. LOL

Do we get a hint on the operating system?You got to guess that also!!!
I had to physically pull the computer appart.
Change the BIOS CONF jumper and enter in maintenance mode.
I got in and NOW it is giving me trouble with the hardware (mouse and keyboard) RRRR

I'll keep troubleshooting until I FIGURE it out.Sorry, but we cannot help you to "HACK" your way into a computer. We have no proof that you're not trying to go into someone else's computer, so sorry, but we have to stick by the rules. Good luck.

FlameJo ...... So you RESET the Cmos and have now removed the admin password .
It sounds like that machine could have A P3 .....maybe 1000ghz processor with 128 mb of ram and running win 2k.......
What issue are you running into with the keyboard and mouse ?

I actually got it squared out. I had to reboot it about three times but it came back ok.
The mouse and keyboard worked fine. I'm still working on it as far as cleaning it out but otherwise I think I survived.

Thank you so much for your help everyone, you managed not to let me look like a total idiot in front of my boss.

THANK YOU!! Thats what were here for
