I am trying to run up a small embedded PC (National Instruments PentiumIII/512Mb) running XP. It was sold as "password wiped" but it is sadly not!
Admin/administrator have had their passwords set. This tiny pc only has a floppy drive (and USB, but not sure about USB drivers yet).
Can anyone give me an easy way to wipe the password, using just a floppy drive for software load? Most password recovery software is rather large for a floppy!
I suppose I could try to get it to read software from a USB stick. But the net is full of conflicting suggestions on password recovery, most assuming a CDROM drive.
I don't really want to reinstall XP as there may be essential and irreplaceable drivers in there currently.
Any help or suggestions?
Many thanks
