I have had a toshiba satellite 4100XCDT given to me, which was in good working order. Before I recieved it I told the previous owner (My son in law) to remove all his data from it. He has done this, and also removed his administrator capabilities. Now I cannot access anything. On boot up I get the toshiba logo, and then it asks for a password. I don't know what this password is. It is not the previous admin one. The computer was running windows 200, and it was my intention to install windows XP, but at the moment i cannot do anything with it. Any suggestions other than the bin would be appreciated.
