The thing that annoys me is there is no Microsoft-provided way to reset the dang thing, even if you have physical access to the system. Let's face it, if you have physical access, your security is toast, regardless, so all this does is make our lives difficult. The ironic part is, one solution to this problem I frequently see posted is to boot Linux from floppy and use a special tool to edit the SAM. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | not | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, | entity or | organization.
