Resetting Administrative Password for new owner of a used EEE PC
Dear Sirs,
I am the happy owner of a used EEE PC that I bought from someone who forgot their administrative password and consequently I cannot update this computer, nor can I upload new music, or download anything. Is there a way to do a hard reset of the authenticating password so that I can properly take care of my computer?
I would also like to know how to add memory to this unit, either by an external hard drive or otherwise. Is there an updated hard disk that I can use to replace the old one when it bites the dust? This is a EEE PC 701. Please help. I have searched the internet far and wide with scant results .
Sincerely,
Miriam Finley
