Re: "new" used laptop - IBM

From: "Sherry" <Sherry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| I just bought this laptop that came with XP - I don't have the password for
| the administrator, so I can't get past the log in screen. There HAS to be a
| way to get around this - anyone know? I did email the seller, but no
| response yet. Thanks!
