Appy, I bought a used notebook online and the sellers didn't remove the administrative password from MS XP Pro, which I'm not familiar with. Been trying for months to get a way around it. I'd be tremendously grateful if you had some helpful advice.

Just re-install MS XP Pro ....... I'm guessing you did not get an XP disc with this computer.

You cannot get around the Admin password on 2000, however if you can get on a newgroup that has Password recover software, you can change the password.

I used to work on Gateways and the motherboards used to have a jumper that you could change to disabled the passwords. You'll need to find out the manufacturer and model of your motherboard and consult them.
