If you have installation disk, the easiest thing to do is to re-install Window. That will erase all old passwords and set it up as a new system, just make sure you have the cd key with the disk

My freakin brother installed the k9 web protection and i cant get past it and i dont know how to bet my parents email/password!!!

You can remove k9 by:-
  • Click Start
  • Click Control Panel. If you can't see this option, it may be under "Settings"
  • Click Add or Remove Programs
  • Find Blue Coat K9 Web Protection in the list of programs and click it once.
  • Click the Change/Remove button.
  • Click Yes when you are asked whether you want to completely remove K9. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNINSTALL WITHOUT A PASSWORD. By design, K9 will block all Internet access should one attempt to uninstall without using a password. Attempts to modify K9 at a registry level will have the same effect.
  • Enter your K9 administration password and click Uninstall. If you forgot your password, click the "Forgot Password..." link to have a temporary password emailed to you.
  • When asked whether to reboot your computer, click Yes

Hdd password ,how 2 retervie

There are no backdoor passwords available. The password cannot be removed from the hard disk unless you know the original password to get into the hard disk and you can then remove the password.
Hard drive password is set to protect data stored on the hard drive from unauthorized access. Removing the hard drive and inserting it into another computer still will not allow access without the password.
If you cannot remember the password, your only options is to replace the hard drive with a new one and install Windows, the device drivers and your programs etc. to get a fully functioning computer again.

Power-on password

Computers that have been setup with a power on password are virtually impossible to guess if you have forgotten the password.
Password protection is setup to prevent people accessing the computer without authorisation. There are no backdoor passwords you can use to get in.

Password protection is usually set up on two levels, first on boot up and second it may also include a password on the hard drive. This is to prevent the hard drive being taken out of a computer and inserting into another (it won't work in another computer).

If the password is saved in the BIOS then it is possible to remove the password by removing the BIOS battery for 1/2 + hour, then reinsert the battery and configure the BIOS again with the date. time, etc. and allow to to boot up into Windows.
Laptops such as IBM Thinkpads, Compaqs use a EEPROM chip to store these passwords and removing the BIOS battery won't work. If you are skilled electronically, you can build a piece of hardware and with a program read the contents of the EEPROM to identify the password, then use this password to get into the computer and then if you can remove the power up password and/or hard disk password or change them.
