Bought a computer, it was out of box, so I got a discount. The only problem is that I cant get rid of the guys name that had it before. I renamed the login, but it asks for a password under the other guys name ( I just click cancel, and it bypasses and boots up) but still- I dont like his name on my computer, can someone help? Thanx
