DissidentHere's Journal: Yes dear, Linux saved your *ss

OK, that's it - Linux absolutely does rock. I will now become a full fledged Linux zealot and go through whatever strange rights of passage I must.

My wife locked herself out of her XP laptop. I proceded to lock myself out of my account on that machine (I don't use it - I've got a Mac!), and couldn't remember the Admin password (I know it was a strong password).

Linux bootable to the rescue! I downloaded an image here and proceded to reset the accounts and all is marvelous (I still hate XP though).

It was so quick and easy I've burned discs for all my friends (3 CDs is not gonna kill me).

Go Linux and OSS! Thank you once again.
