| I just got an old NT 4.0 comp from goodwill. It has NT 4.0 and NT server 4.0 installed. Both have a [VGA mode] option on boot. There's also a "Microsoft Windows" option, but it just checks the floppy drive and gives a disk error (there's no disk in the drive). Anyway, I don't know the administrator password, or any others for that matter. It can't boot from CD, but is there any way I can reset the admin password with a boot floppy? I've done it before in XP, but with a CD. |

| I found a site on google that I thought might work: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ However, my computer refuses to boot from the disk. It just says "Boot error". I tried putting a different ldlinux.sys file on the disk, like it said (grabbed it off my linux comp), but that didn't work. It can boot a DOS 6.22 disk fine. I think I might just reformat the HDD and do a new installation of NT... |
