Re: Administrator access???
i know there are a few linux .iso's out there that you boot off and it cracks all the passwords, try a bit of gooleing.
Also, can't you just boot into safe mode and theres no password for admin.?
Re: Administrator access???
the name for the boot CD that rescues passwords is OPHcrack.
(I've used it once or twice.)
calcumc: maybe that's the administrator password he's looking for. The one in the safe mode 'Administrator' account.

Re: Administrator access???
You may have already tried this, but a blank password? I've seen it too often..
Re: Administrator access???
UBCD4Win has a tool on it. 3rd one down on the menu. It will allow you to 'inject' a new admin account into the local machine.
Matter of fact...

Burn it, boot it, and use it. Takes 20 min from start to finish.

I use the non-windows version for a lot of things. So much in fact I have just burned another one because the last one was developing errors.
Great suggestion nil8!
Re: Administrator access???
The non-windows version isn't nearly as user friendly for those of us who tread mostly in MS, which is most of us.
I will agree that UBCD & UBCD4Win are incredibly useful tech tools.
Thank you. Oh, the fruit tart was excellent!
Re: Administrator access???
I would use http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Chntpw_for_Dos advice
cgsecurity is a great web page and their program "TestDisk" is one you MUST have on hand... :) (It can rebuild removed and removed+over-formated partitions!)
edit: for those who don't see the link at the bottom: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html
is the one recommended for 2k & XP from them.
Re: Administrator access???
So AJ, did you figured it out?
