O.P. really dodgy windows problem
my friend has a del laptop, running windows xp, it's second hand and the looser who he bought it off didn't reset any of the passwords,
so the situation is:
  • windows xp pro's built in amin account has a password which we don't know
  • there are no accounts which we know the password to
  • the laptop has no floppy
  • and an external cd
  • the boot sequence is network, hdd, usb
  • the bios has a password too

well we've come to the conclusion that we have the following options,
  • some how setup a network boot
  • use some uber hack to reset all the passwords
  • or some how get the hdd into another pc and wipe it, then copy bartpe on to it and work from there

nb: the hdd he tells me has a connector ribbion resembling that used in an ipod

also he tried to short circuit the cmos pins to reset the password, he didn't blow it up, but it didn't work either

any ideas,
i know it sounds like an unlikely scenario, but it happened,
and don't tell me to call the guy he bought it off, we did he said "get fcked"
