Laptop - it fell off the back of a lorry, innit.

I've acquired an IBM Thinkpad for a couple of hundred bucks from a second hand shop in Ladder Street.

Its probably hotter than Momo's pants, because it asks for a user name and password. Which of course I don't know.

So how do I hack into it? ...or re-install windows?

(before I get dun for 'receivin')

Would never accept anything that I knew had been stolen.

Sorry mate and I hope your fingers don't get burn't.

I'm just surmising. It could just as easily have been sold, there's lots of shops here selling second hand office surplus, filing cabinets, Chairman's chairs, old desktops and laptops. May be that Windows has been cleaned up and all is kosher.

I am merely trying to make the topic more edgy.....lest we all perish from inanity...

Red, my little mate in Chiang Kong would have it stripped down and rebuilt in an afternoon. Fully loaded with a legit OS plus all the soft ware you could possibly need. Price........ 300Bht.

Linux RescueCD has a CD boot with a password crack for WinXP when you forget the admin password, very convenient

last time I had to do this I created a selinux bootable usb drive and wiped the admin password so it was blank - but the laptop was able to boot from usb
