can't log in on xp pro

3.5below · 01-03-2009, 09:38 PM

my company throws out computers on a regular basis.
found one in the dumpster, brought it home, cleaned it up,plugged it in
and all it does is bring up a screen user & password
I found out that it is on a domain. Is there any way of getting around this
so i can use this computer, this won't be hooked up to the internet.

If you have a windows cd with a valid CD key you can format the hard drive and install windows over again. Or you can install linux. We are not allowed to assist you with bypassing the domain login unfortunately.

This forum doesn't help in bypassing passwords or login. This thread will most likely be locked.

You can only use the computer if you install Windows with a valid CD key.
