Re: Password question

Last I heard you can't delete the builtin admin ID, possibly you don't know the ID name as he may have changed it. If you can establish an anonymous connection to the machine over the network you can determine the admin IDs by looking at the admin group or enumerating the builtin admin SID. The easiest way to do this would be to

net user x: \\machinename\ipc$ /user:"" ""

lg \\machinename\administrators

You can get lg from my website (www.joeware.net)

The password protected Word docs can probably be accessed but it will require you to purchase software to crack them.

We have an employee that is no longer with the company. He deleted the local
administrator account and his pc is not joined to the domain. He also has
two Word docs that are password protected. I need to be able to access his
computer and these documents. Any suggestions? Tools/utilities?
