Solve : Upgrating OS can't get passed logon?

Answer»

I bought a used computer from work and wanted to install WINDOWS XP Pro.  The used computer is running Windows NT and still has the old logon names and passwords.  No one at work know the old password. Any idea how I can get passed this?The best way would be to get the Administrator to log on and re-set the password.  If that isn't possible, PERHAPS this may help:
