Is it possible to create a batch file and save it to a CD, and then boot that CD from a computer?

A batch file? Do those execute between boostrap and OS loading? I think you would need something like an iso

You will need a bootable cd with a dos like interface. If the bios on the pc is locked and boot device is set to hd, you will be out of luck, but can still get in, if you physically open the pc and clear cmos =)

Two words: Barts PE. It makes a bootable Windows CD from your original install CD and gives access to everything including network.

The Administration team have discussed the topic of this thread and decided that by passing PC login passwords is not a suitable topic for discussion on this site (due to the security implications. All references to doing this have been removed from this thread. Sorry for the rather disjointed conversation about boot CDs that has been left. No further action is being taken at this time.
