Doing so would be very difficult if the computer has a CD ROM drive and
others have physical access to it. Tools like Operator 3.2 boot's a full
blown linux with security tools and exploits. Not only will Operator allow
you to mount the FAT32 filesystems, you could use some of the tools on the
CD to crack the SAM (NT) password.

Don't waste your time unless you can physically keep users from having
access to the box.
