That method would work fine and dandy if it were the Windows passwords to
reset, but I need to reset the system password. I am on the machine right now
that I am trying to fix, but I cannot run the repair utility off of the cd

would have made the password. Thnk you though. Email me if anyone finds a
solution. alexiel_animus@yahoo.com
