Do you happen to have any password hints that you set up?

Try an Ophcrack Linux live CD.

Post deleted?

Seriously?

It's SPAMALOT for *Can'tSayThisOnTV*'s sake. It's not supposed to be helpful.

can you say, "dipflax?"

I think some people don't understand the concept of spamalot.

This thread probably shouldn't even be in spamalot.

That still doesn't give you license to be a dick.

Also, moved to the Computer forum.

If a moderator is ACTUALLY deleting snowpenguin's post, a moderator needs to review the circumstances that call for such action, and such a moderator may need to have a small word with other staff members about why such action ought not be taken under such conditions.

But he was asking a serious question, it was just posted in the wrong forum.

Quit being a dick snowpenguin, it's neither funny nor cool.

Thing is, that has nothing to do with the reason you gave for removing my post, so you can't use it as an argument for yourself.

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Being a dick and saying "Can you say dipflax?" totally falls under the category of being unhelpful.

 

[jleemero]

Snowpenguin WAS being an unhelpful dick, as *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing usual, but this doesn't constitute reason to remove his posts.

He should be disciplined as per the rules, and not babied as he has been here.

 

[snowpenguin]

No one ever said you should even attempt to be helpful in spamalot.

 

[Basement_Modder]

We're not in spamalot anymore.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

*Can'tSayThisOnTV*

I either need the CDs my laptop came with or a new install of Windows 7. I don't have either.

 

[snowpenguin]

We were, B_M. Doesn't matter where it is now, it was spamalot when I posted.

J.D, google around. There's ways, I just forget what they are.

 

[jleemero]

J.D, I'm assuming the Sega is running XP or Vista?

I hope so.

On your WORKING computer, find a copy of Hiren's Boot Disc, or Offline NT Password Remover.
These Segaes can be booted to directly, and have tools to remove your feeble password.

They also feature the ability to change your password.
Don't use this god damned feature.
Do NOT.
Just remove it.

Pretty sure this is his 7 laptop.

 

[J.D]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[jleemero]
