Hello everybody!
OK so my brother past away a few months ago and I want to give his laptop to our parents. He has it all locked up tighter than a nuns hooha on Sunday so I don't have admin rights, i couldn't find a windows CD and besides, it doesn't have a CD drive. I don't want to "hack" into his computer, don't want to look at his pics, internet search history or dig through his emails. I just want to reset the system back to to day he bought it or buy a new windows CD, totally wipe all his stuff off there and install the new windows.
I've tried to enable the ghost admin account to do a reset but everything I do requires approval from his admin account. so access denied.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!
