Password

You can download the file from here and try again

It's a zipped file so you need to decompress it. Make sure that you're
burning it as an image not just trying to copy the file to a disk.

Burning as an image will create a CD that you can boot from, with a
whole bunch of files on it.

If you're using Windows, we can see if I can connect remotelyto your
laptop and make sure that it's being burnt properly.

 

"Email" If you're using Windows, we can see if I can connect remotely
to your laptop and make sure that it's not being sent to all of
Usenet.

 

FAIL!

There's your problem right here:

User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (X11/20090817)

There is a reason why it is sensible to use a separate news client, you
know.

 

Okay, I've done it. What now.

Dear Margaret.

As you can see I've finally mastered this email thing! Sue and John
came to visit today, which was nice, and it was Sue who taught me how
to use the email. I shall be writing to you often now that I have
figured it out. Please send my love to Helen and the boys.


See you soon Love Mum xxx

 

Hahaha,

Epic Fail

 

Hah! Yes

 

I think my brother should really look elsewhere for technical advice.

 

Well, since I've now brought it to the attention of UKRM.

My brother's GF changed the admin password on XP and promptly forgot it,
though she's insistent that "something must have changed"

Bearing in mind that they are both technical numpties, as demonstrably
am I nowadays, are there any better solutions than the Linux ISO
available at the above link?

 

That's the best way I know of.

 

Seconded. Or thirded.

 

There may be better ISO's but the principle is sound. It used to be
regarded as better just to blank the password as opposed to re-writing it.

Specially when some **** pretends to play the alpha male role in a newsgroup
and one brilliant day he feels in need of writing a whinning "Oh, dear, why
did you leave me?" e-mail. Fun it was

 

I missed that, and suspect X-No-Archive may have been involved.

 

Or it was a NG that you don't subscribe to.

 

The ever-present third way.
