Excelsior · 2002-01-14 11:26:53

At a LAN over the weekend, the password on my administrator account was changed. Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution?

You might want to try and crack the password file with this password recovery utility

I don't know if that will work. You must have administrator privileges the first time you execute packet capture since the last reboot.

assuming it was done on purpose, then find out who changed your password and beat them to within an inch of their life?
