Frontpage no password privileges escalation?

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Does anyone know if there is a way to gain root/admin access to a system if you are able to connect to Microsoft FrontPage with No password set on the web server? It is running "Microsoft IIS web server 5.0". The system has been clearly compromised, but I want to see if there were any additional attack vectors that the hackers have performed, to compromise the rest of the system. The obvious recommendation to the client is to re-image the whole machine (after forensic investigation - if necessary), but any suggestions for escalating privileges?

Thanks,
09Sparky
