Re: need help with laptop
if I was to try getting into a locked laptop i had forgotten or misplaced the password for, here is what I would do: hit ctrl-alt-delete, that is the administrator backdoor login. then hit enter. the default administrator for vista does not have a password usually. this SHOULD allow you to log in to the machine. then you can systematically go through and wipe everything clean.
***NOTE*** Technically, having had a car reposessed before, I know that the car is the only thing that belongs to you, even after the paperwork is completed (this applies to abandoned vehicles as well). the contents (all personal belongings) are legally still the property of the previous owner, and you are bound by law to return them to said owner. as far as the laptop goes, should you choose not to attempt to return that, the previous owner can pursue legal action against you for grand larceny (depending on the value of the laptop), not to mention the "value" of the possible intellectual property contained in said laptop.
