Hi, I know my thread title might be a little misleading/shady, but I assure you that this is for a good use, nothing illegal about it.
My friend, being not that intelligent, replaced his administrator password with gibberish. He just typed in random keys. I'm not sure what exactly possessed him to do it, but now he can't log in as admin, and he can't install anything or download some content until he fixes his password. I'm going to his house Saturday and I need a standalone program that will figure out or reset his password so he can log in as administrator and change it. I think he said that he can't install any programs, so I will probably need one is independent and doesn't require installation, I guess just an .exe file.
Is there a simpler solution? Is this like Windows, can he reinstall his OS on top of the current one and reset the password? Is there an easier way to go about this? Thanks in advance!
