Restore Password

[frenchscottie]

I got a Medion PCMT6 pc in to do a Fatctoy restore but when you boot to the restore partition it wants a password. Anybody know what it would be.
I've tried the obvious, password, admin etc.

I would prefer to restore this way so I have all the drivers, etc rather than just re-installing XP.

Boot into an external enviroment and have a look through the Factory Restore file system, it may be stored in plain text in a file.

This was certainly the case with some of the older Packard Bell desktops.

Can't remember if it was a Medion or not (Possibly Acer actually) but I've had some factory restores in the past require a password of 0000 or 000000.

Worth a go anyway
