donating abandoned comp - administrator?
Hello folks,
A tenant, when he vacated, left a Pentium II, 6G HD, XP Home machine, with lots of personal information on it (ugh, when will they ever learn), and good software. I want to securely delete that personal information, retain the software on the machine and donate the machine to a charity. I can't contact the tenant to find out his Administrator password. I can get into it as "guest", but I can't change or delete anything. So, help? I tried the usual passwords, like his name, his girlfriend's name, but no go. How can I get in as an Administrator? Tenants have left machines before, and I have reformatted, but the only OS I can install is Win98; this one has XP and I can't think that a charity could use anything else right now (except Vista), so: what I have to do is delete the personal info, clean it up and donate.
Thanks in advance,
Chas
