use ophcrack http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/
download the image and burn it to cd.
change boot order in bios to cd/dvd first.
then boot up.
ophcrack will run.
just select the gui interface and then its automatic.
give it 5-10mins and it reveals all the passwords on the pc

It works admirably! Many thanks!!

You folks seem to know everything, I feel being lucky to be in this place actually

Would you folks happen to know of a video capture software by any chance? I thought about recording some of my finest moment in the PC video game called Civilization IV.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

I know Fraps but it requires me to pay for it. Anything which is free for a trial period of 15 or 30 days will do good for me.

Just came back from CamStudio 2. Easy to use but all I've got is blank screen once I switched to the game screen. Everything in black. Tried several encoding which come witht he software but no luck. Any clue?

I finally managed to record something but that's from Camtasia Studio 7. Still nothing was recorded when in Full Screen mode when I ran Strike Fighter Project 1 a flight simulation. As for Civilization 4, the frame rates were horrible!

Everything went back to normal and good when I ran each one of them in windowed mode?! The only trouble I'm getting is some games don't provide windowed mode...
