DELL LATITUDE 3580

[jamieljohnson001]

Hi there,

My husband has a DELL LATITUDE 3580 that he used to use for work a couple years ago.

While doing some spring cleaning, I found it in that attic, and thought that it would be perfect for us to take camping to watch movies.

When I turned it on (for the first time in a bout 2 years), it states that I need to type in a system or administrator password.

When I asked my husband what the password was, of course he said ~ I DON'T REMEMBER.

Can you please help.

It won't let me do anything until I put this in.

If I have to wipe it clean, that's ok, since it's work stuff from years ago.

Thank you so much.

g'day Jamie and welcome to the forums.

sadly, as per Forum rule #13, we can't for any reason, help with circumventing passwords.
if he can't remember it then you will have to, as you say, wipe it.
and being an old work laptop from 2 years ago - that's probably a good thing to do anyway.

look on the bright side - it pre-dates COVID !

I'll close this now Jamie, since we can't help you anyway.
good luck and of course if you need any other assistance, and we can help, feel free to start another thread.
