    ahahah!!! ophcrack!!!!.....if you get your system to boot...you could crack the passwords in windows....... its suppose to be a recovery program but its fun to screw with people..... so basically......

    1. get online and go to http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

    2. go to live CD (note: you will need to be able to burn a CD and will need a program to burn .iso, there not hard to find and there free)

    3. put the CD in the CD drive

    4. hit what ever key it is to get into the boot system (should pop up somewhere right when you turn on your computer, normally F something)

    5. Do boot from CD drive

    6. Chose the bottom one.

    7. It will look scary but its basically hacking/cracking the passwords. make sure you write them down.

    it will say something like

    user: Johniscool password: imahottie

    2 of 5 password : (time elapsed)

    I crack peoples computers in the StRut room at school for fun....hehe....

    A power on password is based in the loading of the BIOS so you have to open the BIOS settings and terminate the password from there...

    Goodluck =]
