Greetings, this is my Quantum3D arcade unit with Windows NT installed, it sat in my collection for some time, I run it for the first time actually.
OS was installed by previous owner, instead of installing new OS I would like to restore the current one and check what's good on HDD's.
I could hook up Quantum3D HDD's on other retro pc as slaves to enter it's content. I also think It would be possible to enter OS registry and remove or change password.
The OS is Windows NT Workstation 4.0, do you know how to remove password externally from such OS.
I have not use that OS in the past to know it well. Thanks in advance

Never used it, but I suspect NTPasswd is the most practical approach 😀

Certainly works well enough with the 2k/XP machines I’ve used it on, have never used it on Nt4, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work!

It should work: "Supports all Windows from NT3.5 to Win8.1" Thank you very much for recommendation!
I will definitely try this. Will keep you informed
