my dad got some computers from a jobsite and said i could have them...except i dont have the password. i forgot what OS it is, i'd have to plug it in again...i think it was ME, but i was wondering if there was any way i could (a) find out the password or (b) some how get around it. somebody please help me! i have no idea what to do, or if there even is anything i can do besides like, installing another OS. thanks
 
well nevermind...i just checked the microsoft website and they say it cant be done, no way no how...i guess i just have to wipe it clean and start with another OS, which is something i would have done in the near future anyway.

stupid microsoft.

Instructions
NTFS
If your Windows partition is NTFS, you're on your own - NTFS file permissions should prevent you from replacing the file while in Windows, DOS doesn't support NTFS, and Linux NTFS support is at best "experimental".
YMMV.

Download SystemShell.zip http://carcino.gen.nz/tech/win/crap/SystemShell.zip and extract out SysShell.exe, putting it on a floppy or somewhere convenient on your hard disk (or if you prefer, write your own version instead).
Reboot to a DOS floppy.
Change to the system32 directory in your windows installation, eg. if your Windows directory is C:\Windows:
C:
cd C:\Windows\System32\
Save a copy of the real service, so you can put it back when we're done:
copy spoolsv.exe spoolsv.old
Replace the service by our program, SysShell.exe, which you extracted out in step 1. You also must replace the copy in the 'dllcache' directory, as otherwise Win2k will restore the real service as soon as it gets a chance.
copy A:\SysShell.exe spoolsv.exe
copy A:\SysShell.exe dllcache\spoolsv.exe
Reboot and load Windows.
You may need to log in (and possibly even try and print something) before Print Spooler service (actually our program) is run, but when it does, you should see a command shell open up.
Using the command shell, do whatever you need to do. One useful example command, to add the user 'myuser' to the Administrators group:
net localgroup administrators myuser /add
When you're finished, remember to put the real service back:
Reboot to your DOS floppy.
Change to the system32 directory again:
C:
cd C:\Windows\System32\
Copy the real service back, again remembering to replace the version in dllcache:
copy spoolsv.old spoolsv.exe
copy spoolsv.old dllcache\spoolsv.exe
All done.
