I guess I better try the admin password cracker stuff...
Well, don't I feel silly. I connected everything and turned on the power to see what options I might have, maybe there was an unprotected admin user or something... and the computer booted right up into Windows XP. There was no log-in password set.
Don't feel silly. And elderly woman once called me to her home because her computer was asking for a password when it hadn't before. Sure enough, I turned the PC on and Windows asked for a login password. We tried for about fifteen minutes to step through all the possibilities she might have used.
Then, at some point, my finger slipped and hit the enter key. The password was blank.
