Will removing the battery from the motherboard lose all previously set password?

It *may* reset the BIOS password, but it will not affect any Windows passwords.

Umm... I have a rather interesting issue. The machine i'm trying to get access to the administrator account for DOES NOT HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT! None of the Usernames can be identified as the ADMIN account, not even the account "Administrator". How do I get one?

Leo,

If the laptop has Encryption Plus Hard Drive software, how do I boot from the CD after authenticating at the Encryption layer?

Thanks.

I'm closing comments on this article because it appears to be a magnet for folks pushing for-pay or questionable tools that claim to do the same thing as the free tool in the article.
