This one is killing me...
I have a customer's Inspiron 1545 laptop and the kid forgot his windows login password.
normally no big deal I just run the Linux cd boot and clear the SAM file.
however this one is not cooperating, the linux is finding completely different login accounts.
I cleared all the passwords, but when I reboot to windows, it still is password protected.
it's as if there are two sets of SAM files, and Linux is finding the wrong ones.
I cannot back up his "my documents" folder until I can get into the drive.
any ideas??
