    Linux boot disc - win2k admin password change

    I have a linux boot disc that allows me to change my win2k and xp admin passwords from the command prompt (hacking the sam) but unfortunately this floppy has decided to die on me, I desperately need this facility back.

    Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can download this boot setup or the files?

    Hmm, I tried using the ISO off of that site in a nero bootable CD, it doesnt boot?

    Is there a specific way to create a boot disc with an ISO... am I being stupid?

    CDRW, ISO1, used the ISO file listsoft (link above) and then set to emulate floppy on boot.

    Writes CD.

    Load it in laptop, blank screen after spinning the CD up.

    I use that at work for when morons fiddle with things they shouldn't. Just burn the ISO.. it's a linux based idea.. and it will autoboot on laptops.. cause I have used it for that.. several times

    Read the instructions for which script to run after it's booted. It's a piece of cake.

    You are simply burning the iso image? not copying the iso to a bootable cd?

    edit:Just read your post and as I read it, you're doing it wrong. Cancel the start up wizard, and select Burn Image. locate the ISO, then boot from that.

    Not sure what you mean here.

    New, Bootable CD-Rom, set to emulate a 1.44 floppy, select image file path (the ISO for the linux boot sequence), set ISO 1. Burn.

    Thats what I did before.

    I don't want harddisk emulation do I? I don't actually drag and drop anything onto the disc do I as I thought Nero burns the boot sector and then the ISO image into the boot process so it auto loads on boot... ?

    Nope.

    Do you need to emulate a floppy?

    Both the ios's that Jiff and I have linked to you.. are images. You literally just burn image.. and boot off the CD. They don't need any emulation to included in the burn process

    Also.. make sure you have "CD-Rom" as the first boot device in the laptop BIOS!

    So I don't need to create a bootable CD, the BIOS can boot any CD? I create an ISO CD or 'image' CD...will have a go.

    Correcto. Most laptops support booting from CD.

    In nero.. do this...

    Close the wizard as Jiff said...

    Recorder->Burn Image...

    Point it to the .iso you downloaded.. and burn...

    That's all you need to do
