Just make sure you can boot up with your Windows CD. Otherwise you'll be stuck without an OS to install from startup.

Alright thanks.

I hate my dad for putting password on shit and forgetting them.

If it's just Windows administrator passwords that you can't remember, I'd just reinstall Windows. That way you won't lose everything else. Unless thats what you want.

hmmm...

well how do i do that?
just put the disk in and click reinstall or something?

Yup, when it asks you select new installation and it will go through the Windows install like normal. All your old Windows configs will be gone and you can start like new with your old files still in place.
