I know some of you 'techies' can help me and I hope you will ASAP!!!

There is a group online that lets you request things. I requested and received a laptop computer. It boots up fine but it requires a network password and I don't know how to get into it. The person who gave it to me got it from someone else and did not know how to us it, that's why she gave it to me.

The text of your post indicates that you never knew the password. TechRebublic is not in the business of hacking however I think that I can help.

It seems that you have obtained a laptop and I hope that it was a legal acquisition. That gives you full rights to that laptop, but since you do not have the password and did not state if you had the OS disk or software key you have no right to the software therein.

My best advice is to go to your friendly neighborhood computer store and buy the OS of your fancy and install it, you may also need to download drivers for video, audio and chipset but then you will have a fully legal pc and that is what you want.

And that is the right thing to do.

If I ever make my way up to your neck of the woods I will take that beer. And buy you and your perfect husband one too.

the best to you ..
