1. There are software programs (that you'd need to download from another computer and burn to a CD), that will locate and display passwords. One of them that I use "Spotmau". If all else fails, you can sometimes open the back panels and look for the clock battery ( a small circular, thin battery). That usually wipe out passwords, but only use as a last resort.
2. you forgot to tell us what password. Is it a bios password or windows password? For Windows Password, As far as I know , there are two main methods to solve the windows password problem as follows: 1st Method: Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys twice and it'll show Classic Login box. Now type \Administrator\ (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows. Now you can reset your account password from \Control Panel - User Accounts\. Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen. 2th Method: Windows password Recovery software: for example:Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 .
