I totally understand. i am actually 15
. also before i go on. this is weird. i know when i popped it in i was astonished to find it is stored on the hard drive. We tried to change the password in the admin but it pops up saying you need the old password to change it in admin! but to verify it is not my school i want to reformat... this is hard. i will try to give you info. i work at Coghead as a "jr" IT. It is a ibm thinkpad and we cant get the password. i dont know how/what to put to verify that i am not hacking my school. But i would not do that to my school. i will answer anything you want me to answer
also
It is a recovery password. we made a cd from the computer to restore it and when it loads it runs this cmd and promps for the password. it is not the admin password but it is the users' password that had the computer before. the only hint is white car. if you chane the users password. a ibm thing comes up asking for the old password and the new.
