Gary:

It oes not matter if there is, or is not. I will reload the O/S rather than 
tear down a laptop. I'm quite sure I could get a fresh O/S up and running 
before I could tear down the computer and put it back together. 

The original  post was not how to reset a lost password. The question 
basically was, has anyone here used Spotmau Powersuite 2008 to reset a password? 
Since my original post, two Dell 2650 laptops will not reset the admin password 
with the Spotmau bootable CDR, and my Gateway Solo 9150 _does_ reset the admin 
password as we gave it a try late this PM.  

So why does Spotmau reset the admin password in the Gateway, but not in th 
Dell computers?  All three computers are using win2000/SP4. All three computer 
CMOS is configured to boot from CDR first. I'm not sure what "O/S" Spotmau uses 
for their powersuite software. Maybe tghere's something in CMOS that would 
prevent a non-Windows O/S from booting the hardware? What coud that possibly be?

So, that's why I need help from someone that's actually used this software. 

The manufacturer's tech support is basically useless; they keep asking for 
more and more information from me with less and less usable information in 
return. This is not a very high quality product in my opinion.
