If you want to be a real nice guy you would get his copy of the 2K installation disk, and reformat to do a new installation.  I'm sure he has his financial information and other private stuff on there.  Wife didn't think about that when she thought about getting it out of the house.  A real honest guy would format and start over rather than trying to get the dead guy's password.  Don't take advantage of the grieving widow by snooping in the dead dude's computer.

>I received a Dell Dimension 4100 unit as a gift.  It belonged to an older gent who passed away recently and his widow wanted to get it out of the house..  My problem is that is runs Win2K and has a password to log in.  We have looked through her husbands papers and have no idea what the password could be.  Is there anyway to bypass the password to log on?  I have no idea what kind of system it is other than it being a Dell.
