Is there anyway besides reinstalling the OS to get past Windows2000NT password Protection at the log in screen????My friend has an old PC (pentium 3 555Mhz CPU, PC100 Ram) and we want to get into it but do not have the long forgotten password...any advice??? Also does anyone know the highest upgrade of CPU for a Pentium 3 chip (what is the socket)??? ------------------------- [Inappropriate content removed.TLH] ASUS A8N 939 NVIDIA NFORCE 4 at the southbridge Powered by a Venice AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (2.4Ghz) processor 1GB DDR 400(PC3200)Dual Channel RAM (soon to be 2Gb: dual channel Corsair XMS 1GB) 200GB 7200RPM SATA HDD ATI Radeon 512MB X1900 XTX (650Mhz) smooth as a baby's bottom 500W PurePower ThermalTake PSU WR0100RU (revised unit with a stable 12v 2.0 rail)

Greymattertripp Member Posts: 174 Joined: 08/27/2006	I don't get it I made the boot disk by burning the ISO image onto a CD and made sure the files were correct (not the ISO but all the files that come out of it). This is Windows Server Family 2000 Built with NT technology. When I boot up the PC with this disk it does absolutely nothing different even though the boot order in BIOS puts the CD drive 1st. Any help is appreciated. ------------------------- [Inappropriate content removed.TLH] ASUS A8N 939 NVIDIA NFORCE 4 at the southbridge Powered by a Venice AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (2.4Ghz) processor 1GB DDR 400(PC3200)Dual Channel RAM (soon to be 2Gb: dual channel Corsair XMS 1GB) 200GB 7200RPM SATA HDD ATI Radeon 512MB X1900 XTX (650Mhz) smooth as a baby's bottom 500W PurePower ThermalTake PSU WR0100RU (revised unit with a stable 12v 2.0 rail)
