[X Newbies] [OT] Win2000 Passwords

[Ken Wieringo]

there is a utility on the web(I forget what it's called) it's really a 
hacking tool, that lets you boot from a floppy into DOS so you can 
change the Administrator PW.
If you have your BIOs passworded, and your first boot device is not 
your floppy you are not going to be a happy camper.. :-)
