They typically do way better than I could in my second language asking in a technical forum. Maybe he will ask again with some different words. If it is the logon password, Googling, or Binging, for one of the assorted linux based password cracking boot disks would likely do the trick, if he has a friend that can do that for him. Since he posted though, must have some access to the ether.
