I would check to see if that computer is stolen...

Normally (most circumstances) when there are multiple domains like that - it
is from a corporation or business. If it is from a business, they should
have re-formatted the drive and (depending on the license) copied the
installation files to the drive.

If you don't know the password or your friend doesn't know, you may have to
just re-format the whole thing.

There are utilities that exist out there that will help you break the
password (or reset it), but I'm not sanctioning the use of those :)
