i bought a computer off ebay and for some reason its locked and asks for a username and password when it starts up and i tried to contact the seller and got no response so does anyone kno how i can get past that so i can actually use the computer

thanks

 
While the computer is booting up keep pressing F8 to bring the Boot Menu, then select Safe Mode, Log in as Administrator, go into Control Panel > user accounts > and disable password.

 
ok i tried the administrator and is says safe mode in all the corners of the computer and ask for user name and password and i typed in administrator in the username and it doesnt work

what about the bios thing

and also how do i reinstal the windows or w/e

how can i get it to work

 
is this a laptop or desktop computer? did you get restore discs with it? if it is a laptop and you got nothing but the computer and the seller cant help you with the password, there is a good chance it is stolen

if you dont even know how to reinstall windows you should probably pay someone to do it for you

if you didnt get any restore discs or a windows disc and you dont have a copy, add a few hundred to the price of the pc cause your gonna need to buy one
