Re: [Nolug] windows help!

I've used a utility from the following site 3 weeks ago. It worked well
on WinXP Pro. I created the boot cd on a working computer. I also
followed the instructions in the Bootdisk section to the letter. Don't
try to create a new password, though, it might not work. I blanked the
Administrator's password and was able to log in.

Of course, it's not guaranteed to work, but good luck,

Jonathan
