I just got a computer with windows vista but I don't know the password nor do I even want windows on the computer. is there anyway to install ubuntu without knowing the password. I do have an installer disk for ubuntu 18.04.2. I don't mind erasing the hard drive. any ideas? I have tried just turning it on with the installer in the computer, and using 3rd party software.

When you install Ubuntu, you'll get the option of 'erase disk and install Ubuntu' (step 6 in my link) which doesn't require you to know any windows password (if it's a bios/hdd password you may need it; but few use hdd passwords). I suggest you look at tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop
