A few years back I went to a MCSE boot camp. I received a disk with Tips and Tricks on it, one of the programs was called "Get Admin" it created a bootable floppy. When you used this disk to boot from you became the local administrator of the NT4 box. I have since misplaced the disk, and I am in need of it, we are a local vendor in North East Ohio, we have a school that we service that either had a disgruntled employee or a very smart student. We have tried all of their known passwords with outsuccess. Does anyone know if that program still exists out there or know of any other programs that could help!

Thanks in advance,
Michael A Stetz

The program does exist. Search on www.astalavista.com for the link. Another thing you can try is if your account has admin rights to the Domain/PC just use the NET USER comands to change the admin password.

Try Minasi's site: www.sysinternals.com
Look for their NT Locksmith. There are many such utilities around, but this is the best I've used.

Good luck,

Ian

ps: If by any small chance service pack 3 or above is not installed on the box, thereis an incredibly easy way to get in, anyone can read or set anyone else's password. If this is the case, send me an email (peer mail) and I'll let you in.

Check out www.nttoolbox.com downloads section. there is a linux bootdisk which can possibly change pwds on a local machine.
