This is a question on behalf of my friend.
His kid brother installed a password on his windows 7 home premium desktop and now he forgot. How does he get in?
Since the data is backed up into a flash drive, i suggested nuking using DBAN and reinstalling OS.
To complicate matters further, his CD drive doesn't work. In that case, what options does he have available to recover his password?
Can DBAN be run from a bootable pendrive?
