How to romove unknown password??
How do you remove password protection on a shared drive running WIN98SE? A friend has a pc on his network that has files he wants to access on the pc's "c" drive. But a former employee password protected the drive. So when another pc tries to access the drive, a password is required. Of course, nobody knows what the password might be. Any way to get rid of it?

Hi Ron,
These are just some thoughts: On 98/ME (I don't know about all versions though) you can usually just hit "Esc" and the password box goes away and the system lets you right in. However, You mentioned "Former Employee" so I assume this is a business--If so, Has your friend installed any security software? If he has you may want to let these guys know, so they know what they're dealing with. Just some thoughts.... |

Have you tried deleting the .pwl files and rebuilding the network connection?
