I thought I posted this but don't see it, sorry of this ends up as a repeat. I have a PST file from another install of Office 2010 Beta that I cannot use because it says I don't have permission. So I thought that maybe I should try it as admin but don't know how to get that login screen and I am not sure what the password would be since I just set this up 2 days ago. SO how do you get to the...

I have several users that keep using a linux boot disk to reset the administrator password. Short of encrypting the entire disk with a program like Safeboot, is there anyway I can stop them? My thought is maybe moving the registry hive that stores the passwords? is that possible, or would the linux boot disk be able to see them where ever I move them? Any suggestions are appreciated
