[QUOTE="larryE, post: 257979"] hi i have just had to have my Hard drive wiped! luckily i managed to save all my data. however i lost all my programs. Now im trying to re-install them but i keep getting asked for my authentication password before i can go any further. Now i have'nt used this in long time but i was pretty sure i knew what the password was, but i tried it and many variations on what is could be, but to no avail. Im wondering if when the system was re-set that it reverted to factory settings or something. or is there a way of overriding it or finding a hint as to what it is. It is stressing me out as i have to install Office asap. Can anyone help? thanks Larry [/QUOTE]
