My niece has one from an ex beau.

How would one go about wiping this thing clean and starting fresh?

The first thing would be to get past the password. They're not speaking and no way would he be able to remember anyway.

I suppose I could always drag it down to the pawn shop. Those guys would know. But it doesn't hurt to ask here first.

TIA

I never tried this method, it may work:
I use the method briefly described here (Removing the password of local account ):

Well, that's just awesome.

I should have taken the laptop home with me last night but I'll go get it today and try my hand at this tonight.
