Unfortunately, you not only reset the password, but the rest of the setup. If there is something critical (like irq conflicts solved by hand tweaking), the computer might not boot or some device might not work.
Given that he CAN'T BOOT AT ALL, because he does not know the password, what sense does it make to worry about such things? The machine is dead to the world as is. How could resetting an IRQ make it worse? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
