NT insecurity

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. # Chris Adams <adamsc@io-online.com> | http://www.io-online.com/adamsc/adamsc.htp # <cadams@acucobol.com> | send mail with subject "send PGPKEY" "That's our advantage at Microsoft; we set the standards and we can change them." --- Karen Hargrove, Microsoft (quoted in the Feb 1993 Unix Review editorial)
