Just wondering if anyone has done this before and what method they used. I can use a boot disc. I can log on to a limited user but not the admin because the password is unknown. Both finding the password or resetting it would work. ---

Austrumi version 0.9.2 download the ISO and burn it to a disk. Its all text based, but you can access the registry and delete the password with it. when you boot up with it, type nt\_pass and you’re on your way. When you get the choice, go into SAM to remove the administrator password. ---
