[PLUG] Linux boot disk to replace XP Admin password?
|
I seem to remember hearing about using a Linux boot disk to replace a
Windows XP Pro Administrator password. I believe all that was done was to
erase the password some how (much the way you would a password in
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow in Linux. Does anyone know how to do this? Is
there is a special program I need to do this? I believe the machine that I
don't have the password happens to be FAT32 formatted (so that might make
things a little easier. My guess is I just need to edit a certain file
(in a certain way), but I'm not sure which one.
