Unavailable Password for NT

[David]

I have recieved a computer with no acompanying information. In other words I
don't have a password to logon. The machine was thrown away because the hard
drives did not work. I have fixed that problem by cleaning the PCI bus slot
that the hard drive controller was plugged into. (Now the machine Boots). But
I have no password for the Windows NT v4.0 Operating System which is on the
C:\ hard drive. (Boot drive). The Computer was given to me because it did not
work and it is very old, 1996. the C:\ hard drive has 187mb of free space, so
I am asuming that I have to proceed with a parellel installation of the
Operating System - Windows NT v4.0 - This is where I am stuck. I don't know
how to proceed with the parellel installation, or which registry files which
I need to replace with a matching set from the parellel instalation. What
Directory are they in - ? - systemroot\system32\ ?filename(s) ? -
Winlogon.exe, Samsrv.dll, Samlib.dll ? ( I don't know... ), aren't those
files associated with the encrypted system key which this machine doesn't use
?. Need Help.

Windows NT is a *secure* operating system; it is not normally possible to
access the OS unless you have a password.

What is the point of installing a parallel OS? You still will not be able to
use the first one and it will just sit there taking up disk space.

Simply insert the installation disk for the new OS and remove the old
partition, when asked to choose a destination partition, before setting the
new partition.
