well this is a "misson", but it works.............

knoppix bootable linux disk

you burn it, boot from it follow the screen and it lets you change admin password



maybe there is an easier way, but I know that works

It's a painful process, but it can be done.



I would just reformat it if you don't need anything that's on there.
