    Hi! I am a new member and because I am new and I am old (Retired) you will need to forgive me if I am not up to speed on computer lingo, so go slow, thanks.
    I just purchased this Compaq Presario on Ebay and it came with CENTOS as the operating system and I do not have the password to enter.
    I want to delete CENTOS and load a new Windows XP system into it but I don't have any idea as to how to do that. I NEED HELP! Thanks
