You don't... since they were someones systems the only way legally is to format and reinstall the OS. If they are all the same OS and have reg numbers for each located on the system you can use one OS disk to load them all but the reg keys have to be the ones that are located on each system.
Your request falls under one of our TOU rules as outlined below.

BIOS or Operating System's passwords are there for the purpose related to Security and Privacy to protect the legitimate owner of a machine. While there are many locations on the Internet that might help you learn about managing passwords for a machine's BIOS or Operating System, we at G2G do not assist in bypassing past a machine's Security and Privacy safeguards.

While such requests are often legitimate, and come from users who experience exactly the kind of problem that you post, we have no way of determining legitimate vs. not legitimate, therefore we do not respond to such requests.

Thanks and sorry no offense meant... We are truly out 3 months rent from these people because we were trying to be nice and kept giving them extentions so we didn't think there was anything wrong with keeping and using the computers... I'm asking on this site because it looked legit ...

Nothing wrong with using the systems but you would need to format them so that no personal info is left from the previous owners. If they left the systems and have no intentions of getting them then you just have to do what I suggested to make them legal. Even though there are plenty of sites who may help you GTG is very legit and we will always follow the letter of the law when it comes to passwords, P2P or piracy.
It is not personal but only that the admins have worked very hard to make this site legit and family friendly. Rest assured we would never suggest anything illegal to you or anyone and if anyone does please let us know.
