+
+Just boot this CD and follow instructions.
+Usually, just pressing return/enter should work, except some
+drivers may have to be loaded manually with the 'm' menu option after boot.
+

+
+The password reset and registry edit has now been tested with the following:
+
+NT 3.51, NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server,
+Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Server 2012
+
+As far as I know, it will work with all Service Packs (SP) and
+all editions (Professional, Server, Home etc)
+Also, 64 bit windows versions shold be OK.

+
+To make a bootable USB drive / key:
+
+1. Copy all files from this CD onto the USB drive.
+ It cannot be in a subdirectory on the drive.
+ You do not need delete files already on the drive.
+2. Install the bootloader
+ On the USB drive, there should now be a file "syslinux.exe".
+ Start a command line window (cmd.exe) with "run as administrator"
+ From the command line, run the command like this:
+
+
+ j:\syslinux.exe -ma j:
+
+replace j with some other letter if your USB drive is on another
+drive letter than j:
+On some drives, you may have to omit the -ma option if you
+get an error.
+If it says nothing, it probably did install the bootloader.
+
+Please note that you may have to adjust settings in your computers BIOS
+setup to boot from USB.
+Also, some BIOS (often older machines) simply won't boot from USB anyway.
+Unfortunately, there are extremely many different versions of BIOS,
+and a lot of them are rather buggy when it comes to booting off different
+media, so I am unable to help you.
