Password
My computer is asking me for the Administrator password when I try and download a disk on it, I bought this unit used and I don't have the password. I don't know what to do and I really need to down load this disk. Can you help me, it's a Dell Latitude D510 .
Thanks

According to Microsoft, if the password is unknown (or forgotten) the ONLY option is to reinstall Windows. The reasoning for this is that if there were a way to get around the password then anyone could hack into a system that required a password to log on.
In addition, the BIOS (setup) is password protected on Dell laptops and the ONLY way to access the BIOS if you don't know the pasword is to call Dell support (and it will be a $$ charge call) and you must be the registered with Dell owner. The reasoning for this is because of the large number of stolen laptops.
You will have to go back to whoever you bought this from (if it was a legitimate purchase) and get the info from them.
