    OK guys/gals I picked up a used panasonic toughbook cf18, the problem I have is it was obviously part of a business system and the software is completely restricted, I have looked at tutorials on how to back door my way in to remove the admin stuff but nothing works on this computer. I can't even boot in safe mode. Do i just get another version of windows xp professional ? There are a few systems on this laptop that I do not want to lose. I have the Verizon access manager,built in bluetooth,some program called ritePen, uses a different wifi setup intel PROset even though it has the normal one as well. I dont even know if I can install a different version in this thing. In the start menu there is no run or my computer or anyway for me to access anything. Also I connect to my wifi but when I go onto internet explorer it will not connect and I have no way to even get into the options! Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance-JOEYD
