How do I find out the password to my laptop when connection via networf from another PC?
Q. I recently installed Windows XP on my laptop. (I used to have Windows 2K) Now, when I attempt to access the laptop from my PC it asks for a username & password. I don't remember creating that at all. What can I do to find out or reset that password?

A. It should be the local users of your XP loptop.
Go start-->control panel-->Administrative Tools-->Computer Management, you can find the "local users and groups", click it and local users and groups will show on the right pane.
You can create different users for different permission for visiting your laptop whatever locally or via network. If you forget the password, you also can reset it there.

Also, if your laptop is a part of a domain, any domain user with the permission to your laptop local resources can access the related resources.

I want to reformat to an earlier windows?
Q. As the title suggests, I would like to reformat my hard drive. The thing is, I know how to reformat but I want to use windows 2000. When I go to reformat it gives me issues because I already have XP on the hard drive. How can I reformat and install windows 2k without the hard drive giving me crap about having a newer version of windows on it?

A. Hello,

If you want to reformat, boot from CD.
Then delete all the partitions, and create a new one.
Format it, then install Windows 200

Thanks,

What linux Distro should i use for my old PC?
Q. Okay so i've got a old pc.

I've basically put windows 98 on steroids, it has 3 hard drives like 512 MB ram. It's a pentium 3.

so what linux distro should i use.

ps it was originally for windows 2k runs windows XP great.

A. Im running Ubuntu on my old Compaq 1200 notebook 300mb RAM, 500mhz processor, It actually runs pretty good, Im sure your P3 is running at least 1.1ghz so I think Ubuntu is the best OS for you also seeing as Ubuntu has the most drivers of anything built in, you shouldn't have problems with this distro
