[BC] RE: Time Zone Editor

[Sid Schweiger]

>>I still have one computer to fix -- somebody put an
administrator password on it and now nobody knows what it is, making
it
impossible to run TZEDIT or even change the time.  I found a site in
Israel
that has a utility to extract the password in hex, you send it to them
and
they e-mail back the English translation.  Alas, it didn't work on
this
machine, which is running under NT.  So now I'm up against it -- and
this is
the on-air computer in the control room, so it has to work. 
Fortunately the
server and both production room machines are updated.<<

Google "Emergency Boot Disk."  You'll find an ISO file from which you
can burn a bootable CD.  It has all sorts of utilities on it, including
a means of resetting the password for any account on the machine.  Even
though it boots to Linux, it will read FAT, FAT32 and NTFS partitions. 
This thing has saved my butt more times than I can count.
