OK Here we go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~First issue,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bought laptop from Pawn Shop (ya know they are stolen) and it has a password for XP and a domain.
ok, I thought I had this mastered by using the EBCD and by booting up with that and the neat SAM file changing and .....V O I L A..... bypassed it all!!!!!Been There and done it before........But Wait.......There's more...

Noooooo it is not gonna be that easy. This neat lil laptop has NO CD ROM!!! How am I gonna use my EBCD?? Well thats just swell. I do not have a external cd rom or rewriter. I do not have a usb flash memory. No floppy drive either.
Here is the challenge..... ready????

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*NUMBER 1~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Can I use my IPOD 80GB Classic and put the EBCD on that????
Now mind you, I need step by step instructions with clear and concise wording as I am not that good at PC lingo.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*NUMBER 2~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

How about reinstalling WIN XP?? Just wipe the hard drive clean. I won't miss what I don't know if it was on it or not. HENCE...... that damn non-existant CD/ROM. Once again, is it possible to install from the Ipod?

Any answer will be apprecciated.

We, the members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery/removal of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover/remove a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we, the members of TechRepublic, [b]will not take[/b]. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.

If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, hard drive password recovery/removal should be taken up with the manufacturer of the hard drive, etc...

[b]If you KNOW it was probably stolen, why on earth would you EVEN bother to ask a professional community, which prides itself on helping to PREVENT access to someone else's property, to help you circumvent the security?[/b]

you know you bought stolen property, and then are stupid enough to admit it?
