I think I have seen this, but I scrolled and scrolled without seeing
anything.
The KB says reinstalling is the only way, any ideas?
TIA

Download the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor from
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
This is a boot disk that runs a version of linux and lets you blank or
reset any password.
Don't be frightened by the word Linux - the tool steps you through the
process and there are good instructions on the web page.
I have used it several times here when PhD students and research staff
have forgotten their passwords on varios pieces of equipment.
