Forgotten Passwords
Filed in archive Tools by paul on March 11, 2006

Have you ever forgotten a password? Have you had a situation where the local admin password for a PC was either lost or forgotten? I know I've had that problem more times than I care to admit.
I found a link to a solution over on the Under The Stairs blog. Here's the entry from his blog:
I was working last week for
a client and we came across a box
whose
admin password was not what we expected (or any of the many variations
of what we expected), or any of the non expected variations. To no
avail. However, one of our techs came up with this.
This is a VPC floppy image (you can use VPC to create a real floppy
disk). It contains a small linux build plus a password changing tool -
which worked on XP SP2 just fine.
This floppy disk was
developed by a Norwegian, and you can
find more information on his web
site.
Definitely worth checking out.
