I have tons of PC's from Game Dev company. Does anyone know if there could be any valuable info on it. ( software, dev. info etc.) Also I have three servers. The problem is when it boots it prompts for user name and password. Is there any way around it ?? Thank you in advance . Riga
What operating system do they use? Win XP? WIN 2000? You could do a few googles and problably find exactly what you need pretty quickly. Of course, you could try the ol' ADMIN and PSSWD, see if they were stupid enough to not change the defaults. What company are they from?
If you mount it on another machine to read the stuff you may still get nowhere due to user account encryption. Best case scenario is the password is easy to guess. Worst case scenario is you format the lot then do a data recovery, some stuff could be lost but it's better to get 99% of the stuff than none of it.

Theres a Windows Tech CD that does in fact bypass windows admin passwords. Its somewhere where I work. I'll see what I can do. It only works on Win XP.
I have a linux floppy disk that resets the password for the Administrator account in all versions of Windows (even server versions, it's very nice!). It's in my drawer in work somewhere, I will see if nobody has stolen it tomorrow.
Most of them are Win NT and 2000, some are XP. These belong to employees and all have different log-in passwords and user names. They are from Interplay. Thank you for all the tips. I hope I can dig something out of these monsters.
Sorry, looks like someone has "borrowed" the disk from my drawer, best bet is to mount the drive in another PC, the likelyhood of the encryption being enabled is low anyway.
