Can you reset the machine to original factory state or is there too much on it?

Look up the sticky keys trick if you need to keep everything as it is.

@xwb I already try to reset using windows repair but still it keeps asking me for the password

If the computers are part of a network you will need access to an admin account. If they are standalone there are ways to break in as an admin user. the hint that xwb above will work. take his suggestion and google on "windows sticky key trick" and enjoy

Hi,
Maybe you just call the old IT-guy and ask him for the passwords. He might still have all the necessary information. At least was he supposed to return them to the company when leaving (this is not ONLY a technical matter but also a legal one).

This is a good lesson for any company with an IT person. Make them create and update documentation continually so that if they need to be fired or if the fall into a hole, you have 95% current information in a document. It should be kept where someone in management can access it easily.

I had one of my supervisors say, "You guys keep these documents here and you keep them up to date. If I decide to test on of these user names/passwords and it doesn't work, someone is getting fired. While not the friendly way to do things, this makes it very clear of the importance of documenting the IT environment.

Good Idea but the problem is no one of his colleague have a contact, they have but all deactivate or can't be reach.
He just runaway from the company that's why

Yes every company should aware of this situation specially the admin, Even the I.T Guys we have 10 code of ethics we should be professional because we handle the whole system.

I have problem even routers, printer admins, servers are wrong passwords I can reset those passwords but this is a big trouble if I can reset specially the routers. Maybe there's some configurations for cctv and vps also for voip.

Must have been a bad environment for employees if they're running away like convicts escaping a prison.
