Subject: Win98 Screen Saver password and Remote Login.

Are there any tools or methods which could be used to get into a Windows 98 system when the screen saver password kicks in "AND" a remote administrator, whoever, is connecting to that station using a remote Timbuktu or PCAnywhere session?

For example, I was trying to get to my remote user's workstation after all users had gone home. I originally set up
the Timbuktu client, so I knew the remote Timbuktu login name and password, but the user had a screen saver password that locked me out. Obviously, at this point, I could not just reboot the remote station. If I were able to remotely reboot, I would have just logged into this station using my administrator login/ password.

My sessions are established over the Internet through a T1 connection, thus do not rely on dial up.
