Contact the seller if you have just purchased it and ask for the login details. If it was trade retailer he should have restored the OS to standard without a login. If you have set of rebuild disks or a recovery disk I suggest you re-install Windows from scratch and this will give you a clean install without passwords. There are utilities available to change passwords but unless you are in the trade the cost of this software is more than a set of disks.
