Syst/op security question. Help needed.

My buddy bought a compaq off the street for almost nothing. It seems to have a nice config, but the OS (XP pro) is password protected and he does not have the recovery software. I am trying to help him, but I have never run across this issue. Anyone? Thanks.

Funny the way this place works...I knew this comment was coming. I am not a tech person, rather a photog/promo person. And if he had the disk we could, don't step on me without reading.

PS nice link thanks

Is that a fancy way of saying he's receiving stolen goods?

Take a look at this. If he does not feel comfortable doing this, i am willing to give a helping hand. In return your going to think im going to ask for $$ or something towards that effect. Nah, I am new to this community and trying to lend a helping hand in areas which im fluent in. So when i put a call in asking for help, people will repay the favor and give me advice.

Your buddy actually has several options, however most of them are all geek related ;) The above link is the easiest solution by far.
