Product: Thin client t5740e
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
So I bought my computer from a small business and they had it wiped by an IT company, but it’s still attached to its network as it will not let me update it Because of the administrators access. I have the password but can’t figure out how to bypass it. Anyway possible?

Hi
Wiped you say?
How about you get the W7 licence info, I use Belarc Advisor for serial numbers etc.
Then CONSIDER a wipe and re-install of your own. Download and make DVD/USB.
