    I agree, that's my favorite. Even showed me the MS Office key on some machines. Just posted it 'cause it was XP specific.

    has anyone seen one that will work through dos?

    I have NTFS 5 pro which will mount a ntfs partition in dos so that it is usable, but I can't boot to a customers xp install. I need the admin password to run a recovery console, but the customer can't remember what password they entered.

    If there was a key grabber that worked in dos, I could grab their password, log into the recovery console, fix the registry and send the customer on their way. otherwise I have to re-install from scratch.

    I'm not sure there is one for dos but here's a way to reset that admin password. (for blank put in * instead of just leaving it blank and it *should* work)

    In NTFS PRO just browse to the c:\windows\system32\config folder and delete teh SAM.EXE & SAM.LOG files and the admin password will be blank. All you will have to do is press enter when it asks for the password.
