I dug out one of my parent's old computers to fix up for my son but none of the passwords that the family or I could remember works and I can't get in because the administrator password is missing. I do not have a re-boot disk anymore. Is there another way to get in? I don't care if I have to lose data because I was gonna clear it out for him anyway. Anyone have any suggestions?

I understand about not knowing if I own the computer or not so thanks for your attempt to help. But it has no internet connection and therefore anything i find and have to use online is of no help at all. Thanks
