Hey everyone, I'm totally new here so what do you think about this: I bought an old Toshiba 2540 CDS a long time ago and haven't touched it in years. But now I need to get into it and can't remember the password. It doesn't matter if I lose all my files just as long as I can use the computer's functions. Any help would be great! Sincerely WC

Do a clean Windows install. Just check this forum link for more info on how to do it properly.

Lol, even though it has a USB port, you can't boot from it right now. The Socket 7, the 32MB of RAM and the 4.3GB disk are all too old for Windows 10. To install cleanly on CD or floppies, you need Windows 9x because that system is really old—way older than DVD technology—and a USB drive wouldn't even start up to boot any software. *Removed by moderator*. And if you can't crack the password to get in without one, then reinstalling this thing will be pretty hard too.
