[SATLUG] microsloth help

[Jim Wells]

Have you tried one of the Linux live CD's that lets you edit the Win2K and
XP passwords?  Don't know if it would work in your case, but what the heck,
it's at least worth a try.  I know you can use them to CHANGE an existing
password or even setup a new user account with full administrative access.
