Came across a great little program today. Kon-Boot Booting to the CD allows you to log into any profile on a computer without knowing the password for that profile. It works on Windows XP through Windows 7 and Windows 2003 to 2008.
There are two very cool things about this program that is different from older password reset tools like Offline NT Password and Registry Editor.
1. Kon-Boot does not reset the password. When your done, just reboot and no one is the wiser. The old password still works on the profile.
2. Unlike Offline NT Password and Registry Editor you can access Local and Domain profiles.
Accessing the domain profile on a computer is very cool. Even though you can log into a domain profile you still will not have access to any network recources until you re-authenticate with the domain. Buy hay you still have access to everything on that profile, which can come in very handy if you need to get to a profiles offline files.
