from this wannabe geek.
I've been given an old Dell Inspiron 620 computer by a neighbor. I've cleaned out a lot of files and it's running pretty quick. Win 7 i5 2320 machine w/6GB of RAM. Nothing fancy but it does have a 1tb drive in it.
What I'm trying to do is get it set up so it'll run stand alone so I can take it up to my brother's new place and hook it up to his TV so we can watch movies on the DVD player. He doesn't have anything hooked up internet wise or tv cable wise either.
My question is this. I've downloaded the instruction/repair manual from Dell and it says to reset the system password you need to change a jumper on the mother board.
I can do that, no problem, but, is that going to reset the Windows password that my neighbor put in when he first got this computer?
Or is the system password something to do with the BIOS settings etc?
I'd like to be able to rename the computer and drive (which I've already done) so there's no mention of the previous owner.
Thanks for any help on this.
