[lug] weird question...

[Stephen G. Smith]

I have a boot disk with a small linux distro that through various scripts,
will allow you to mount NTFS
volumes and then access the SAM and repassword any user account inc. the
administrator account...it lists all accounts on the machine and allows you
to choose.

I will send if you like...needs rawrite2.exe to create the image.. I may
still have that aswell.

I had a couple of clients that locked them selves out and it worked like a
dream.

Cheers,

Stephen G.
