Hello everybody,

It's being a while since I posted or even visited tech republic, as I've been quite busy doing a few things.

Anyway, because I had received so many e-mails regarding this and I can no longer keep up with all of you, I've decided to just posted for you all instead.

You can all download the bootdisk from here. It doesn't recover your old password, but it change it to a new one. Make sure to follow instructions. From all the other password recovery tools I've send outto some of you, the best feedback is on this one. So have fun..

Any other tools u guys may need let me know. For now I'll keep working on my portal http://www.cyberadeptness.com and the translation of docs to Spanish til I get a job.

If any of u live in the DC Metropolitan Area an know of a job, I'll really apreciate if u all let me know..

Thx.

Kima

Thanks for the tip, I'll check this one out too.

I've always used but just one util, but if I can do this on one disk it sounds a little more efficient....

I'm used to using ERD Commander and wanted to make sure people knew about that too. it's a set of 5 floppies (4 Win2k setup disks and a 5th cracking disk) that you boot off of, just like the Win2k setup process, and in the5th disk you're booted into a DOS environment and can perform multiple functions.

Check out www.winternals.com for the rest of the scoop.

I'm sure that's an excellent tools to recover or change passwords, but if it is a company low in funds, I suggest the FREE version to change the password.

It works the same, although anyone who can afford such tool, should definetly add it to their own set of tools.
