Re: Editing the "Name" in 'Win-XP Registered User' ..... Can it be done?

Dear All, I just bought a laptop from eBay ...... it's a "Toshiba"
'Satellite' Model A50 and came with "Win-XP-Home Edition"
preinstalled but the seller did not supply the Manual or CD
containing the various drivers.
The original owner registered the Win-XP OS with a bad word
in place of his (her?) name ....... [ Mother Fu**** ] ......... I am
wondering if I can change it to something acceptable as the
kids will have access to the laptop.
Is there some utility or does anyone know the file where this
name info would be stored so that a hex-editor could be
used to (at least) remove the " Fu**** " portion.

Any suggestions and pointers would be very appreciated.
TIA

Who knows what else may be wrong with the installation.
Use something like aida32 to retrieve the key (even if there's one on a
sticker).
Make a few notes to identify hardware that may need drivers and get those
first.
The plan is to obliterate the hard drive by using a utility to zero write at
least the beginning of the drive and then install XP afresh.

You may find that there's a procedure to write recovery cds from a hidden
partition, you may find that you should have had recovery cds supplied.
Whatever you do, make sure you use the correct media for the OS you should
have. Once you have verified how you can proceed then set aside a few hours
and do things methodically.
If there is a COA on the machine then try to use the key supplied.
