hi everyone, so my dad has a HP Compaq 8000 elite. He passed away some time ago and I found his older pc. The issue is there’s a password that we can’t figure out and everything is locked behind the admin password. I tried doing a factory reset but all it does is restart the PC. If anyone had any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I know it’s an older pc but if there’s any way, I’d love to preserve it. I don’t mind having to delete everything too
