If you have access to the box, you could boot it into DOS or use a DOS boot disk. There are a couple password hack programs you can run against the password file. I forget what the one I'm thinking about is ... it's by Cult of the Dead Cow.

I assume you ARE the Administrator aren't you ... ?:upset:
I googled it ....
