Given the recent comments about insecure machines, I thought it was interesting to note that you can clear *every* password on an NT box by using a diskeditor to corrupt the password file (Boot off of a floppy and use NTFSDOS if you have to). It'll reboot several times and then you'll be allowed to login.
Much as I absolutely detest NT, lets reitterate what everyone else on this list has already heard too TOO many times... If you have physical access to the machine, it ain't secure. It doesn't matter what operating
True. However, as has been reiterated many times, NT is being marketed as a
secure platform. Unix people tend to know that you need to work to secure
it. MS hype might lead some of the non-cypherpunk admin types to believe
it's secure. Trust me. I hear from these people all the time!
