You need a set of disks for that machine before you can reset the logon user name and password. You might consider purchasing a disk set on line. You can buy a later operating system and install that instead of the original 10.0.

Regards.

Many thanks for your quick response, if you were in my situation what O/S would you invest in, without breaking the bank??
