Hello
I have a big problem. I have six new computers running Mandrake. Iwould like to migrate them to Debian, but everything is passwordprotected and the people who installed the original OS *forgot* allthe passwords.I tried today to boot from a live CD, but found out that BIOS is setto boot from hard disc and access to BIOS is password protected.
What can I do?

Thanks for help.
