The last case was a missing child and the parents begging me to break open her section of the family PC, to find clues. Since time was of the essence this break was less organized, basically the sledge hammer method. The clues we found gave me the goose bumps (luckily they found her before crossing the border). Strangely, after this incident the PC would no longer accept the setting of any password. Certain software wouldn't work anymore. Also, this scenario had opened everything on this PC, including the father's section where he had sensitive documents stored. When I told him he was very surprised that this was possible.


All you need is a Linux live boot disk. ;-)


In the first case I used a DOS boot disk, in the missing child case time was critical and I only had the keyboard. That was enough.
