I'm afraid the only way legally to do it would be to reformat the portion of the drive Windows is on
...I think...
If you needed to back up data, you could always connect another drive with Windows on, copy evreyting to it, and then wipe the other drive and re-install...
What did he say?... That post sounds legal to me... its a way around it, but its not illigal. Anyone could do that if it works, since the password protection is made to stp family members, etc. Not to stop theives and so on. And I wouldn't bother to go into Safe Mode just to look at my brothers account for instance.
Okay, but still there is no way of telling if this dude reall lost his password, or, if hes trying to get into a friends or family members or whatnot. But i see where your comming from.
