How does NT / Windows 2000 compare in this respect? Is it just as easy to walk up with a bootable floppy and change the password? Well you can easily install a second version of NT in directory other that C:\WINNT, log on as administrator and do whatever you like from there - as for reseting the "real" adminsitrators password I don't know?
NTFS does now support EFS (encrypted file system) which would thwart the above action unless you had the private key. Linux now has a loopback encrypted filesystem that would allow you to protect sensitive files in a simillar way. -- Simon Oliver
