There's a tool in Ubuntu to remove NT passwords: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14369/change-or-reset-windows-password-from-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ Or you could use a specialist CD: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ For such an old PC (>10y old), any modern Linux distro will really struggle. About the only *buntu with even a chance is LXLE: http://lxle.net/ Go with the 12.04 version. But it would be better suited to Puppy Linux or DamnSmallLinux. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
