How to get around the admin password?
I was in the middle of re-installing windows, when the pc I was working on crashed. It was a thermal event issue. I took the hard drive from that pc and moved it to another. When I did that, I was able to finish re-installing windows. Now that I've completed that, it is asking me for an admin password to sign on to the pc. When I originally setup the pc, I never put in an administrator password. I've tried all of our system passwords, just hitting enter and just about every other password I can think of. Is there anyway of getting around it? I really need to get the files off of this pc and on to the new one I have. Thanks!
