[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1008405"] Don't change the admin password; once you have the proper discs (either the machine-specific ones or a retail copy of the OS), you should ERASE the drive and start over. The previous owner leaving their old account behind is a security risk for them and for you. Erase and start over. [/QUOTE]
