u are correct he sold the llaptops to us but retained the admin pass as he kept chargeing silly amounts to do anything the charity wanted to take back control of the laptops he refused to do this the new guy looked at the laptops and said he cannot crack the pass because the bios pass he has also proved to us tht the guy put office 2010 and photoshop on the lappys and they are ilegal copys but we payed for full price onees and license we have no backups for the lappys no acess and non origina software the guy is refusing to give us these items obv in the software case because they dont exist and as for the passes idk understand the reason why lots members of the local comunity use them reguarly so they need to be maintained etc. has been going on for yr now so things like the anti virus software has run out but notheing can be done about it without admin acess. its like the charity owning a car without the keys in my mind absolutey crazy he has no write to hold them like he is. we do not really want to go to the police over it as its seems a lil silly. would just like to get back control of the lappys so we can find a new administrator.
any sugestions be good
thanks matt
