As most people who work in IT know, if you have physical access to a machine with a non-encrypted hard drive, you pretty much have access to everything that's on the computer (with varying degrees of difficulty to obtain access to the data depending on securities, etc). I use the admin PW hacker on Win XP all the time, for instance.

One of my fellow network engineers sent me this today. Its an ani-gif that shows just how easy it is to bypass security on Windows 98:

I don't touch Windows 98 all that much anymore, but this could come in handy in one of those "we need what is on this old computer, but don't remember the password" situations. I also thought it was funny just how shoddy Microsoft's security has been / is.

Wow, that's pretty funny/sad....

that is awesome, I still know someone who uses win98, I totally sent it to them! :D
