I am guessing you made the system backup using Windows XP so you should be able to restore it the same way.  Go to START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > BACKUP.  You will then see an option to restore from a backup.\n\nI hope this is what you're looking for.\n\nGood luck!

If there is a cd-rom in the computer in question, you can just reset it. There are several ways to go about doing this. I would suggest reading the following page & comments.\n\nhttp://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/09/02/how-to-hack-into-a-windows-xp-computer-without-changing-password/\n\nYou could also use the backtrack linux distros bootable cd available @ http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack

Check with Compaq for specific instructions.  But, you can usually do a repair install (of Windows 2000 or XP), and it won't delete all your applications and user settings.
