My Brother bought a used laptop from a stranger but it works and everything but the password. Here are more details:

It's a Dell Inspiron 2100 and the operating system is windows 2000 professional. The laptop does not include a CD or Floppy drive but it
has 1 USB port. If you want anymore information please feel free to ask.

OK, now when my Brother bought the laptop we powered it on and it worked fine until a "Log On to Windows" box appear and you need to type a user name and password to log in but we don't have the password and we cannot contact the guy he bought the laptop from so what should we do?
