Log on to desktop difficulty
Hello -
I am faced with a DELL 8400 desktop PC, running Windows XP. This station was donated and is owned by the church I attend in our small rural community. It has some unique aspects to it which the pastor wishes to take advantage of - namely media shout. Along with an LCD projector and sound system.
My issue is I can only log onto the station as a user. Someone set up the station with administrative and limited user accounts. "NO ONE" has or knows the administrative password - all of the elders and board members are not computer friendly.
My question is how can I override the or log onto the station by side stepping the administrative account unknown password? Is there a back door avenue which can be taken? or am I just vacillating in the matrix? hahahahaha
Any help or suggestions are greatly and sincerely appreciated in advance.
Best regards,
Jim

The best thing I can tell you to do, is find out who donated it to the church. You will need to get the password from them.

I can`t officially recommend that you use password cracking software. But you can look and decide for your self.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunatley getting any password from the donor is not an option - I have already attempted this request with no success. suggestion?
