Does it have a serial number? If so, post it, there are a few different ways to bypass the password.

One quick, and seemingly simple question... does it stall on start up with a blue background and a "pop-up" type window? Or does it take you to the XP user screen and show a user name with a avatar image?

this sounds slightly reminiscent of a hacked copy of the Operating System... when you F8 and go into safe mode.... just Push OK -or better yet, just hit enter, when it asks for the log-in/password...DO NOT enter anything in either line. If that doesnt work then enter the previous users name (the one it shows to log in when starting normally) and leve the password field blank. It should let it start in safe mode. THEN go to your control Panel and USER ACCOUNTS... find the one it is asking for the password on and click on it.. one of the options will be to remove the password. (as previously mentioned.) Restart.

when i let it start normally it comes up ti a blue screen that says welcome to windows hit alt ctrl and delte to being i do that and it ask for username and password and i have hit ok and cancel both being blank the username and password and nothing works says its not correct

if i start in safe mode it comes up with a black screen i think and has the log into windows and ask for username and password and tried leaving both blank an have typed in adminitrator and still nothing

is it impossible to log into it

no it isnt impossible to fix, but if you cant get the seller to help then it could be stolen and i for one am not gonna help fix a stolen laptop

if you know for a fact it isnt stolen contact the manufacturer directly, give them the model/serial and they can help you
