Im not sure if this is where this belongs. if not plz move it to the appropriate forum. thxs. My question was: my good time friend at my church bought a dell laptop about 2yrs ago, and she was using it for work and home. She hasnt touched the laptop since then. and had just recently needed to use it but she has forgotten the password for the nt login. She is running windows nt . Is there anyway to bypass it or to reset the password. I was thinking of running a dos brute force attack. any suggestions.
