Incorrect!

This is what happened.

We (Cenobite and myself) changed his language and keyboard character set to some weird arse one. He came back and went "Oh shit, better put a password on this mofo". So he did. Then he realised it was in a different input language etc, changed it back, and proceeded to lock his PC.

The observant one will note that his password was still in some other character set that his keyboard no longer is set to.

This is not a problem - normally you boot off a CD and use a tool to reset it. But his harddrives were SAS and the controller wasn't properly supported by the linux live CD. So over maybe two hours, we fought back and forth trying to get it to work. Eventually we hit gold and all was well, but not before being up so late we only got two or three hours of sleep.

Funny thing is, with windows 7, even if you change the language or keyboard layout, I can still get in.

No matter what you do, with physical access to the machine you can get in given enough time and resources.

And you probably have a finger print scanner.

Dead_man never locks his PC, which is why i always launch every application on his desktop.


I thought thats why we changed his computer language to a foreign one, he changed his password so we changed it back to english forcing him to format?


LOL
Nice work on making deadman reformat
