vista upgrade?

I just bought a used computer that is in good condition, but it shipped with windows vista. The seller appears to have upgraded to windows 7, and has eliminate the restore partition. I cane use f8 to get to where i can restore the original setting, but there is a administor password that i need to advance any further which i don't know. I bought this computer through a associate, and i do not know the seller personally. His name is still in the computer along with the password, Is there anything i can do?

We can't help you with Lost Passwords.... But Google can.

Or if you you wanted to install a fresh copy of Win 7, you can borrow a dvd from someone that has a pc made my the same pc maker like Dell or HP etc...

Google can help with passwords? So is getting the restore partition back is a long shot?

WinDriver's Forum Rules do not allow its members to assist anyone in the recovery of lost passwords. Due to the open, public nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that WinDrivers.com cannot take.

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows password recovery issues should be taken up with Microsoft, Phoenix BIOS password recovery issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, Dell's "this system is protected by a password authenication system" should be taken up with Dell tech support, etc.. etc., ...

I have figured out the password, and things are going good,but my computer's windows 7 software is 32 bit, how can i get to 64 bit?

Install the 64-bit version over the 32-bit.
