I have acquired a computer with XP Pro installed with an Aministrator already
established but I don't know the password. How do you obtain/create
administrator access when there is one already created? Everywhere I have
been I am denied access.

Click to expand...

1. Ask the person from whom you got the computer.
2. Boot the system with NTpasswd and change the Administrator account
password to a blank.
3. Best of all, it is wise to completely format and clean install
Windows on a second-hand machine. You don't know what the former owner
was doing on it.
