Any computer experts out there?

[John_Murphy]

I am trying to resurrect my daughter's old Toshiba laptop that she had whilst at university. Unfortunately, when I power on, it comes up with her name and asks for a password. Daughter, of course, has no recollection of what she used (it's over 10 years ago) so I fall at the first fence. Does anybody know of a way around this?
Thanks

PS: Yes, I know it will probably be dog-slow and stuff but I thought it might be useful for the odd thing. Seems a pity to dump a fully-functional machine otherwise. Also, we have no idea what information may be on there so am reluctant to give it to an 'old computer' charity.

Doesn't time fly!! I have realised that it wasn't 10 years ago , it was 20! A sticker on the machine says it is running Windows 98.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a couple of things to try that I found via the web, if they don't do the trick I may be in touch.
