Except for the supervisor password

Perhaps going to 98Lite will uninstall it, then uninstall 98Lite (if she's using 98 in the first place), then reinstall it?

You could do a web search on password recovery, I know I've run programs that revealed supposedly (but laughably) encrypted Windows passwords.

Neither could the local admin, or the domain admin. The users in question can't remember ever defining a password, so we had no clue what it was looking for. In the end, we got around it by deleting everything out of the IE 5 directories that didn't look like it came with IE 5. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll be of much help in this case.
