How to get past a user password on a Gateway M-Series Laptop....recently purchased?

OK, I already asked once, but didn't have enough info. Just bought it at a pawn shop today. Windows 7 Operating System Gateway Laptop M -Series Model No: W650A Need to know how to get past the user password. Not admin, not administrator, none of that stuff Name already changed to Stephanie instead of Administrator, no guest account, can't get in on safe mode. How in the h e l l do I get through? Thanks.

1. Reformat and Re-Install Windows :D
2. It can probably be accomplished by changing the BIOS password. If you don't wish to do as the other poster suggested and re-install the Windows 7 operating system, I'd take the paperwork from the pawnshop with you to a computer repair shop and see if they could change the BIOS password and then you should be all set. Just make sure you take a proof of purchase so they won't assume it could be a stolen computer.
