Dave, What happens if you don't *know* the password?For example, your company has loaner laptops for travel, and you only have the password to one of half a dozen accounts on the machine?
For example, your company has good anti-piracy policies that include locking down administrator functions, and you aren't permitted to get into the administrator accound?
For example, you're a courier and you aren't yourself authorized to know what's on the machine?
