Windows vista home premium password

House rules do not allow anyone here to tell you how to easily get around that pesky password issue; however, having said that my recommendation is ALWAYS to clean install when you first get a new to you computer - especially a USED computer.

Locate the Windows product key sticker likely on the system somewhere, write down the product key you find - you'll need that. Predicting the next issue: you likely don't have Windows Vista installation media, eh?

If so - fantastic, if not - things get stickier. Friends, co-workers, family, etc. What I would suggest : install something else.
