Hey all. Was hoping somebody here could help me with a rather large problem...

Scenario: Bought my computer recently from one of those pawn shops. Needed something and was too broke to do anything else at the moment, computer and car both went at the same time. Well, it worked for about 5 or 6 days and now when I turn it on, at the main page where I set up a password, it doesn't show my name and wont let me into windows. When I hit control-alt-delete, it takes me to a screen with the name of the original owner and THEIR password. I was told this computer was cleaned and I wouldn't have any problems and I'm already past the 7 day return policy so I'm screwed. I can't figure it out, I just recently learned what control-alt-delete did. I'm near tears on this matter, I can't afford a computer guy to fix it for at least 2 months until my finances straighten out after the new car. If I don't have a computer, I don't work. Is there somebody out there in the computer world who can help? How can I bypass this problem?

Sincerely,
Going crazy and freaking out
