So I got a second hand thinkpad r61 for super cheap, but it is still connected to the school district. I went into the options and selected "remove from domain". Anyways, now my password doesn't work and I cant log in
Pic related, its the error message
Remove this shitty os and install gentoo
How badly did I fuck up?
Use a Windows password cracker, like Ophcrack.
And I seriously urge you to install something newer on that machine than XP.
The fuck, since when were based Lenovo Thinkpads given to schoolchildren?
I agree
should install a GNU/Linux distro
That was the plan. I was going to thy to upgrade to windows 7/10 or try Linux.
Boot from a live USB, install chntpw from software center, remove password and enjoy.
School districts, as they are government branches, are expected to wipe all data and remove (and potentially destroy) hard drives from decommissioned computers.
In other words, return it to the school and dont come back until you're 18. ask mom for a t420 for Christmas.
>BUT I GOT IT FROM THIS GUY ON CRAIGSLIST-
Congrats, you bought from a thief.
I think I need to switch the domain back, but I don't know how
Use any Linux Distro, I am 100% Linux Mint has chntpw in the Software Center.
>xp
Nothing of value was lost
since forever ago, they're cheap and hard to break
that is a lucky student.
I was in a high school that used R60s and HP probooks personally. Being a poor as shit kid, I was really excited when I saw an i5 sticker on the ProBooks.
The R60s had 512mb of RAM and a Celeron single core... in 2012.
You fool, you needed to add a local admin account before you did that
Well shit. What now?
Use CHNTPW off of a Live Linux distro!
Give it back, Jamal.
You can bypass login on WinXp, but I can't remember the exact process.
Just format it with a live cd/usb and be done with it.

I'm gonna go figure out what that means
Give it back, Tyrone.

google it, there are guides out there in masses giving you a walkthrough.
You can't.
Update: I found my windows 7 key. I think I can just format it. My data isn't that important anyways (just a gameboy emulator and word docs). As for stealing it, you can clearly see that I am not black
>XP
pretty badly.
only a few days left for free win10 upgrades.
install pirated win7, install 10, it becomes a legit copy of 10 for free.
win
Give it back, Keith.
topkek
good luck. at least you're not a nigger
Boot into CMD type netusers and find your account if it's there. Then type netuser 'account name' * and type in new password.
Would students actually count as school children?
Or does it cost money to go to pre-college education in which country that is in?
THIS THIS THIS. You bought stolen hardware.
Give it back Jamal.
