These disks contain materials, some of it copyrighted, that can be found elsewhere on the net and freely downloaded by anybody so wishing. Many of these authors also offer to make you a disk if you send them a blank disk and mailer, an inefficient process at best. What I am doing here is making this material available on CD/DVD to those persons for whom this is not practical for whatever combination of reasons. The files and software on these disks are free. The charge per disk is a production, postage and handling charge. It covers the cost of getting the disk to you; disks, labels, mailers, postage, PayPal fees, and a very modest fee for my time to compile, copy, label, package and mail the disk to you. |
All disks are $4.00 each (unless otherwise noted)
postage paid for North America

NTPASSWD MiniDisk - A small IsoLinux boot distribution on a 200 MB minindisk that will fit in your shirt pocket. NTPASSWD will safely access any Windows NT
based (WinNT, WinXP, WinXPPro, Win2K) password file and permits replacing the administrator or any other account password with a new password. It will not recover old
passwords. It is NOT a tool for surrepticious entry (it is on the order of cut off the padlock and put your own on!). This disk is very useful
in a corporate environment where computers get shared and a password gets changed making the machine inaccessible. System is very safe, it makes all it's
accesses and does all its workup in RAMDisk and only at the last moment writes to disk after several "are you really sure?" requests.
Warning, if the account being edited was configured with file encrypton, access to those files will be lost with the replaced password.
