    Hi all,

    The above works well for a one who is well-known of which file resides in which folder. My program is for a novice user.

    when your in DOS mode and modifying the password files theres no need to actually delete the .pwl files you can just rename them as .xxx files and than logon, they can be renamed back afterwards just so as not to arouse suspicion.

    It didn't quote everything there. But, yes. You can get into Win2k, NT, and XP systems running NTFS with a floppy based linux OS such as DLX or LRP.

    You then run a linux NTFS client to get access to the NTFS info. There have been linux NTFS read only clients for some time. The read/write programs are relatively new. But, once you get access to a system in this manner it is relatively easy to change admin passwords, or any other system configuration you would like. Google search for "linux NTFS read/write."

    Bottom line is that if someone has physical access to a machine there is very little that can be done to keep the machine from being compromised.

    Point well taken! Didn't think of the complexity of the whole setup...

    I gotta learn that just because I love things complicated, not every one else does!!!
