Ontpare

I usually don't discuss work here but today I make an exception. I helped a client today recover from a forgotten admin password problem on an XP machine. When the machine booted up, all you got was the login screen with one user as an option - administrator. She did not know the password. I had a feeling I could work around this so I Allthewebbed and found a nifty little utility that allows one to reset (blank) passwords on an NT/XP machine. I don't want to post the link here but it's easy to find if you know what to use as a search string. Anyway, I RTFM and it worked as advertised. I was able to get back to the XP desktop.
