deleting an old screen Name

Help!!!
I recently bought a used laptop from a rental store. I
finally broke down & went online with it. The problem is
that whoever had it before me somehow locked their
password into the system. When I log on, I automatically
go to this person's email account. How can I totally
delete this person's ghost OFF of my computer? Thanks for
all suggestions and replies.

Greetings,

Assuming you mean within Messenger or some other .NET Passport enabled site (aka Hotmail),
you can remove this click the Start
Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select
your account name, and then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click
'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the window that opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport)
entry and click 'Remove'.
