    We can't tell you how to hack somebody's account (it's against the forum rules).

    Did you try asking the person you purchased it from what the username/password is?
    Did it come with OS reinstall disks?
    Do you have an external optical drive you can hook up to the computer?

    It is against the forum rules to describe how to bypass passwords.

    Yeah, we dont allow discussion about bypassing passwords on the forums. The best option is to ask the seller for the password, since he/she should have it.
