Well, I bought it at a pawn shop. Dont know who the original owner is
You need to return it to the pawn shop then. If they won't take it back then contact the police as it is likely stolen.
I don't know you.. And I'm trying not to be judgmental. But typically a pawn shop would not purchase something with a password on it... and they aren't in the business of buying things without testing them first. Jus sayin.
i feel for you, laura. but because there's no way for us to verify you are the owner there's nothing we can do.
maybe the pawn shop will take it back, maybe your local computer guru will help.
