Hello all,
i used to have an HP a400n with an 80gb harddrive. one day, the computer crashed and i had to replace the motherboard. once the motherboard was replaced, i turned on the computer and i needed to repair windows so it would work. i went into the repair console and had to type in the administrator password. i typed in my password, i left it blank, i typed in admin and admisistrator for passwords but apparently it was not the password. I called HP and since my warranty was expired, they were going to charge me 50 dollars for them to tell me the password. i decided against. now my oldharddrive is in my computer as the slave and im running the os off a different harddrive. my question is is there anyway to find out the administrator password if the device is attached as a slave? (i havent changed any files in it so it is like the day it crashed). by the way, i cant access any folders in the drive and there is no security tab in "properties".

any help would be appreciated
