I installed McAfee Virus Scan 7, scanned my hard drive,
removed 4 viruses, restarted my computer. Now it will not
let me past a welcome screen asking me to log on. I do
not remember setting up any password for either the user
or administrator accounts. Any ideas on how to get past
this screen or how to uncover the randomly generated
password windows may have chosen ?
 
There are two ways I know of two bypass passwords. One is
a program called LC4 that can do a brute force attack on
any Windows PW, however if it's a complex password (ie:14
chars, all available characters) it would take some time.
Also, it gets the encrypted passwords by sniffing or
through the registery so you have to be able to login on
the machine. The other is a program called Locksmith.
There are two Locksmiths, one with Winternal's $1,000
administrator's pack 4, or you can download their
"Emergency" repair option for a mere $199 (It only works
for 5 days or something like that).

What were the 4 virii and where were they located?
