You're facing a common challenge with older devices. Since the password is unknown and you lack sufficient storage for a recovery drive, here are some options:
1. **Reset Password**: Try using the built-in Windows recovery options. Restart your laptop, press the power button and then the F2 key (or similar) during boot to access the setup menu. Follow prompts to reset or recover the password.
2. **Contact the Seller/Friend**: Ask them if they can help you retrieve the password or provide a new one. Sometimes they have access to the original settings.
3. **Alternative Recovery Methods**: If you have another USB drive, you might try using it to install a recovery image (like Windows 8 Pro) from a trusted source.
4. **Check for Firmware Updates**: Ensure your laptop is running the latest firmware, which can sometimes unlock recovery options.
