Reset NT local Admin Password 1

[CaRKiLLa]

With that new virus spreading yesterday we had a big task of making sure all of the workstations were patched here. On about 6 NT workstations, after loading the NT security bundle from microsoft they wouldn't allow any login. Since the Network team of a newer group and these are old machines, noone knows what the local admin password was. Does anyone have a link to a program to change this. I used to have a linux boot disk that would allow you to change the local admin password but now I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the Workstation 4.0 forum, some one did this by placing the harddrive in another PC so they could delete some files to reset the passwords. See entry in workstation forum titled "Offline NT admin password cracking"

Thanks,
I had just downloaded the boot floppy from <url>

Thanks again,
