  • Get a friend to burn knoppix-std onto a CD, then load that CD into your laptop. You can use one of the utilities to reset the administrator (or any other account) password. This is perfectly legal and legit. More info about knoppix-std here: http://www.knoppix-std.org/
  • I always boot from a CD with disk utilities on it ... then I FDISK the hard drive, then I format it, then I start installing stuff like an operating system and programs ... If I feel like it, sometimes I will pull the hard drive and put it into another computer as a second hard drive, just so I can wipe it with selective deletions & selective copy/saves before I FDISK & format it.
