Unless your friend encrypted his data, he shouldn't need a password cracker. By encrypt, I mean the XP built in encrypt per user method under advanced properties. In that case, then only the password will save the data. If the data is just sitting there on the NTFS drive, recovery can be "easy": Method 1: Pull drive out of machine, put in a working xp box as slave. Extra drive contents should be readable as normal. Method 2: Reinstall the O/S without formatting. This repaints the O/S and gives you a chance to assign admin password. All user data should be safe.* *I claim no responsibility for data, especially if you accidentally repartition the box. Good luck. -Derrick > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG=20 > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Kenzo > Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 3:34 PM > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: L0phtcrack >=20 >=20 > Sorry guys, I didn't mean to be so rude.
