I recently bought a new computer tower from someone off of Facebook... so I booted it up and it worked perfectly the only problem is that it has the profile of the previous owner and it has a password on it so I cannot log in to change data or to format the hard drive....
Is there a way I can access the account or overwrite the password in order to rewrite it and be able to put my stuff into the computer?

Easy: just contact the dude you bought it from.

I hope that the only thing you are going to use it for is watching movies
I tried contacting him but he seemed to have deleted his Facebook account and I actually want the computer to work on editing pictures and videos since I recently began to do it as a hobby and getting paid to do what other people ask for

Trash it, you bought literal garbage. Stop being a dumbfuck.
download hiren boto cd, set computer BIOS to boot from CD and follow the prompts for removing password (really easy) login to his account and see what he has been upto :) Please help with my request if you can >>115093

This is what you get for buying dodgy shit from dodgy dealers. Even at $60 you got ripped off if it worked properly.
The thing is over a decade old now and the specs are really really shitty.

yup
saw a micro form factor at a garage sale and it was only $10....I thought about it, I wanted it for the drive, but I didn't want to maybe get stuck with an IDE

to be fair though, whoever stole it was probably doing the owner a favour
