Hello everyone. I am hoping someone online can help me. I am brand new to this zorin software and I just purchased a toshiba satellite a205 from ebay. At boot it asks for the admin username and password, which I dont have, therefore I cannot even connect to the internet. Can someone explain to me how to reset these things or have I just bought a completely useless computer? Thanks for any help..... :?:

It sounds like the BIOS has an Admin password, which leads me to believe is the seller you bought it from the genuine owner? I suspect a stolen machine but I could be wrong!
