I recently bought a computer and with it, the guy gave another one, a small laptop. I tried to log onto windows but i don't know the password.There is a username when i try to log in, and the computer asks me for the password. So i tryied to reinstall the windows booting from a cd(it has a cd-rom but i'm not sure the comp can see it or recognize it), and it did not work. I just can't use it. Help

If the pc is running windows xp (not pro), then you should be able to start it in Safe mode, then log on the Administrator account, open up the Users account app from the control panel, then remove the user's password. If you decide to reinstall windows anyway, make sure that the bios is set to boot from the CD first.
