Depends how windows.old got there in the first place. If it's just after an upgrade, you are safe to delete it by doing Disk Cleanup.
If a problem with account and a password is related to this site, contact an admin.

Only delete Windows.old once you've verified you've recovered everything from your previous Windows installation that you may still need.

As for passwords, per Tom's Hardware policies, we cannot help you with that in any way (assuming you're talking about Windows, your post is extremely difficult to parse).
