Hi, I picked up a Gateway laptop at a garage sale a couple weeks ago. The price? $3.00. I have no doubt that the seller was the original user, just in case anyone is wondering. It was an easy repair, but now I am faced with forever logging in as a guest, unless I can reset the Windows XP Pro password. Any ideas?
