Default User name & pasword problem

My mate this dell laptop i dont know where he has got it from. When he starts it up it is asking him for user name & password which he does no what it is. Is it best for him re-format his drive?

Any other suggestions?

Hi Grim,

If it's his laptop and he doesn't know the username or password..

Format will work.

in that case format it is the best option. It can be done but they don't like these methods here.
