[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3318189, member: 3099"] This used to work way back on Win NT 4.0 which was NSA approved security. Hard to believe but it was. 1) Boot into safe mode from the Windows install disk. 2) Make a copy of boot.ini in the root directory (I think that's the one) and name it something like boot2.ini. 3)Edit the original boot.ini in a text editor, it's just a plain text file for config stuff, but you can make it log into Windows as admin without an admin password. You will just tell it password=0 or something like that, you'll be able to see how to turn it off, it easy. 4) Then reboot, login as admin and do what you want. 5) After it's all done delete the boot.ini file and then rename boot2.ini back to boot.ini and you are back in business. Anyway this used to work and might still, IDK... [/QUOTE]
