    Help! I purchased a computer from my sister that she got from her work. The operating system is Windows 2000. When I fired the computer up, it asked me to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and then the box asking for a User ID and Password to enter Windows came up. I don't recognize the User ID and of course have no idea what his password might be. Is there a way that I can bypass this function or reset it so that I can at least get on the computer? Thanks for your help.
