Cracking linux password on my bro in laws old server.
My brother in law had a great business 500k/yr that fell apart after he passed due to nobody knowing exactly how to run it, it was out of his chair. Most people probably would have had a whole company.
Anywho I'm sure his server probably has at least 20-30 different websites and I know a few of them I would like to get running again..
How Do I get into the thing, I know windows is simple just boot with crack cd. How do I get into the server, I would be happy with just the extra adsense revenue.

Why don't you just put some linux distro on a cd or flash drive and boot into them with live distro? If you have a monitor should be straight forward. If the data isn't encrypted (which I would guess it isn't) you'll be able to easily access the drive and any content on it. From there you can just copy it over to another drive

Yeah. I'd do first what jmadero suggests. Boot into a live Linux CD/DVD/USB drive, mount the file system, and then copy the data, server configurations, etc. to an external drive. Then, you can reinstall the OS (Windows or Linux) and copy the data back to the new system, or use it to re-enable the servers on a new system. In either case, this is not difficult, although it will be somewhat time-consuming. My advice is to get a qualified systems consultant to do it for you. At least if they screw it up, you have legal redress!
