Access Network Folders

[green_burger]

Hi all,
My Dad is being very evil at the moment and won't let me access our network-shared music folder. The folder is stored on a 1TB Network- enabled external drive which can only be accessed via the network. He has locked it with a password and I am unable to guess it (even though I know about 8 of his current ones). I have tried numerous password cracking- uh... I mean 'Guessing' utilities, such as 'dfg NetBrute' which is specifically designed for this task, but does not have the right options (the folder/drive that needs to be cracked must be mapped into My Computer, but to do this a password is needed therefore it won't work). Google brings no help. Here are the specs:

My computer:
-Inspiron 6400
-Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP3
-1Gb RAM
-120Gb HDD
-Intel Core 2 Duo (1.70Ghz)
-Integrated wireless A/B/G network card
-Integrated LAN adaptor
-USB 2.0 (4 ports)
-Card reader

His computer:
-Asus (Unknown model)
-Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
-2Gb RAM
-250Gb HDD
-Intel Quad-Core (2.8Ghz)
-Integrated wireless A/B/G/N network card
-Integrated LAN adaptor
-USB 2.0 (5 ports)
-Card Reader
-Bluetooth

Sorry. This is out of our bounds, we are not able to legally help you with a topic like this.

Your best option is to ASK your dad, who the drive BELONGS to if you can use it.

So, your dad just up and did this with no reason?  I rather think not.

Perhaps the energy you've put into password cracking may be better utilized by determining how you may better get along with your dad.  I don't know the situation, and maybe it's truly not fair; however, you'll find (with few exceptions) that a lot of life consists of getting along with people who have influence over you.

OK. I understand what your saying. I'll talk to him and see if we can come up with an agreement.
