• This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your NT system, by modifying the crypted password in the registrys SAM file.
• You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
• It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppydisk or CD. The bootdisk includes stuff to access NTFS partitions and scripts to glue the whole thing together.
• Works with syskey (no need to turn it off, but you can if you have lost the key)
• Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
• It is also an almost fully functional registry editor!

Lubricants are used in tape formulations because of the abrasive nature of spinning video heads as they grind away at your brand new tape. ME's use a powder lubricant, while Sony's MP's use a liquid. When the two lubricants combine, they can form a shellac on the video drum that cannot be removed without cleaning.

Sony originally was using MP(Metal Particle) DV tapes, and Panasonic and others shipped ME (Metal Evaporated tapes). Where the problem comes in is that the MP tapes leave metal dust on the heads, where the ME tapes leave a lubricant on the heads, and when these two residues mix it creates a gum like substance, this that gets on the heads and the tape and can cause drop outs. So it is recommended to stick to one type of tape (ME or MP), Sony now makes ME and MP tapes, while most other companies seem to just make ME tapes.
