This is all very off-topic, but one solution, I've had work for me, is to use one of the linux boot disks which allow you to reset the admin password. See http://is-it-true.org/nt/atips/atips262.shtml for more details. I've not used this on XP, but 2000 has worked fine. - Barry -- Barry Byrne, IT Manager, WBT Systems, Block 2, Harcourt Centre Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, Ireland > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of kenzo > Sent: 24 December 2002 05:07 > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: L0phtcrack > > > I did thought about reinstalling the OS.
