Please log in for more thread options I found a utility that supposedly does a password reset, but it says the
drive has been flagged "Read Only" so the changes aren't permanet.

>>I have friends laptop with Windows Media Editon installed. The computer

>> It's been so long since this person used their password, they don't

>> inaccessible, I can't even find out how much space is left on the drive
>> to do a new installation of windows and copy information over.

>> Is there any utility or something that will recover a lost/forgotten

>> Thanks for any help/information.
