Lock out because i don't know or remember my administrator passoword....i bought it second hand so how to i go about fixing this issue
You need to do a factory reset.press F8 and select repair my computer and then choose option for factory recovery
What's the version of your Windows OS? You can use the most freeware Offline NT & Password Registry, or other recovery tools:

The last resort is to perform a clean install or restore it to factory defaults.
Will it boot into the operating system or is it stuck at the bios password?
If it is the Windows administrator password then I'll need more information such as what version of Windows you are on. If it is Linux then let me know.
If it is stuck with a bios/boot password then you'll need to reset it by removing the CMOS battery for a few seconds. This will clear any settings in the BIOS setup.
