Hi dcalchin...
1. Keep pressing "F8" as the laptop computer starts.
2. When the window "Advanced Boot Options" opens, choose "Safe Mode" with arrow key and confim by pressing the Enter key, then PC enters the Safe Mode.
3. Once you are in the Safe mode Click "Administrator" on the Windows login screen.
Take note that you have set the Administrator password before, you need to input the changed password instead of leaving "Password" field blank.
4. Then click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Select the account that is locked and change the password.
5. Restart laptop and login into the account you just created using your new password.

Dear Hunter 19_46m, Many thanks for your help regarding accessing a previous owners password so as to use the acer aspire 5580 laptop. Unfortunately i think the laptop has configeration problems and did not allow me the course of action you advised me on, so im totally cleaning and reinstalling XP instead of the windows vista installed.... Once again thanks for your advice and help... Yours David
