About once a year I boot into Windows for something or other. Unfortunately this means I frequently forget my password. I've once again forgotten my password.

I have access to the hard drive through a Linux boot, so can modify files as needed.

Anyone give me a helpful solution? Smile

Thanks

Any alternative methods as I don't have a CD drive or a USB stick?

No. Sad Neither blanking it or resetting the password worked.
