[KLUG Members] A Linux rescue CD with a nifty feature

[Adam Williams]

This week I had to work on a Windows NT workstation,  but nobody knew the 
Adminsitrator password.  But I found a good solution -

This rescue CD can not only mount NTFS r/w,  but has a utility to read and 
write the NT SAM and registry.  So one just runs chntpw, selects what 
user's password to change,  types in the new password and reboots to that 
crippled OS.

Maybe this is common knowledge but I've never seen this before and thought 
it was pretty impressive.
