    Preparing to donate old computer

    Donated Computer

    A Friend Gave me an HP desktop with windows 7 professional on it. It was donated and she didn't need it anymore she got a laptop. The company that donates this computer provided the login credentials, the issue is you can log in but everything is blocked
    by the administrator and you can't do anything. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.
