vista password

[worthingsaxovtr]

hello

my dear mum has forgotten her vista password, and for the life of her she cant remember it

the only way I thought of was to slave the hd on another machine copy of the data format it and install again

is there any other way

cheers

well it can be used for bad things (getting passwords)

but it's not malware, i wouldn't point you to it if it was.

use the vista live cd version
