I just bought a used laptop (Dell Inspiron 7000) When I
booted up the password screen came up with the following
info. User name is 'administrator' and log on to
is 'TEST'. Is this a Microsoft default? Is there a
password to access the program so I can set my own
password? Or do I need to take it into a shop for new
parts? I'm a truck driver, not a computer type and could
use some info! Thanks!!!
