Can anyone tell me how to remove a password. I recently bought a computer from a friend who forgot the windows password. How can I remove the password request each time I boot to windows? I really want to keep many of tghe programs installed, but if I have to I will reinstall Windows. Help :!:

You can't just hit Cancel, or the key? It's always worked for me. Either that, or boot into Safe Mode by holding the key at boot, and then you should be able to change the password.

Try this
Go to safe mode by pressing F8 while rebooting. if 2 profiles came i.e one of yours and other admin(installation time). Most of times password isn't given at that time. so if u can enter then go to control panel. easy!
if it not works, you reset Windows Password using Windows Password Unlocker.
