These tools will allow a reset of the admin password
without knowing what the orginal was. you use one of
the suggested options to boot the system and alter
the password. WARNING: use at your own risk.
I have used options a, b, c, d. e. I like ERD Commander
but it is expensive, I would suggest trying ntpasswd
(a) boot cdrom
(b) ntpasswd, it does work and is free. (single disk)
(c) boot cdrom (ISO) version of b.(must create cdrom)
(d/e) another boot disk version of b. (single disk)
(f) commercial software (multiple disks)
(g) manual procedure
