Hi, You can boot from floppy and read NTFS, I have a tool that will not only allow you to boot NTFS ofline, it;ll also blank the Admin password, allow you to edit the registry, etc. It's a professional program "System Commander32" (or something like that) I think. Came in very usefull for cracking the corporate network when I found myself on the wrong side of the user/admin divide a while back. :) later jb
