I recently acquired a Gateway laptop from my mom that she used to use at work.  It has Novell Client installed and whenever I start the computer, I am given a window asking for a password.  Neither my mom or I know the password.  In addition, since I am not in the NETWORK or whatever that she had at work, is that affecting this as well? What can I do? I just kinda want it off my computer, but I can't find anything online.  Everything I have seen involves being able to actually log on to the computer, which I can't do.  HELP!!try to click cancel..... if niether of youknow the passwords, try BOOTING in saemode, or even having to re-install the OSlog on to the computer USING the admin. account.  If your loggin on to the computer using the admin account Novell really doesn't matter, just make sure workstation only is checked and your computer name is highlighted You have to delete EVERYTHING!!!!! that has to do with Novell in the C: drive.  This should help the problem.
