XP on laptop ?
Okay, I purchased three Dell laptops at an auction of a company that had went bankrupt, but the problem I am having is that all of the companies software is still on all of the computers. When I turn any of them on it want a windows password which I do not have nor know. Is there anything that I can do to get pass this and eliminate the sign on

Re: XP on laptop ?
and welcome to the ForumWe are not able to help with getting around passwords On the bottom of the laptops, do you see a sticker that looks like this: ![]() Did you get any of the installation cd's or do you have one for Dell?

Re: XP on laptop ?
If you can get a Dell Reinstallation CD that matches the version on the sticker ( Home, Pro or MCE ) you can reinstall XP . . any drivers you need can be downloaded from the Dell Support site.
Any chance you can get the discs from the company you bought them from?

Re: XP on laptop ?
Can you borrow a reinstallation cd from anyone with a Dell?
