i would like to see what password was set , any other way to dump the bin?

anyone?

Ask the owner for the password.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

If you can prove ownership? just take or send it to a DR Pro who has the tools & knowledge to do this for a fee.
is the data important? if not & you want to try DIY then you will need to do a lot of researching.
Members on this forum cannot prove you are the owner of the hdd drive & helping you to bypass the password could end them in a lot of trouble if the drive turns out to be stolen. Please note I am not saying that it is so no offence is meant.

I should have mentioned in first post , this is not my computer, I do pc repair and it is for a customer of mine. I'd just assume pull the drive and install a new one and reinstall windows, I figured Id help the guy not incur the cost of doing so.

if data is not significant, exchange drive and reinstal o.s.
because as said here we can not verify owner
good look
