Ryan,
To be honest this came to light because a company we've had horrible
service from in work has had my brand new work laptop for over 6 weeks,
all because of a short in the headphone socket that was DOA. They are
making excuses left, right, and centre. I provided their engineer the
Truecrypt password, but wouldn't provide him with my user account
password because it had confidential documents on it. Granted they
could crack the password but there was no way I was leaving myself open
to openly handed this over as it would breach confidentiality.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi,
Not if you didn't have access to run the command in the first place.
The best approach really depends on exactly what you're wanting to do;
I'm a hardware junky, so most of my troubleshooting can be done
outside of an os or from bootable cd's/dvd's for example.
Cheers,
Ben.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to log-in to say an Admin account if you can't get access to a particular users account details? I'm curious because if there's confidential information on a laptop how would a hardware supplier gain access for troubleshooting on another account.
Thanks,
Barry.
