I have a computer that the owner doesn't know the password
for it. I don't have a reset disk. Is there another way to
get the password/reset the password?

Click to expand...

this is where the hidden account called 'Administrator' comes in. Boot,
hitting F8 as BIOS info goes to black to get the Menu and take Safe
Mode. That should then at 'Welcome' include an icon for
'Administrator'; if not hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice to get a logon dialog,
enter the explicit name
Administrator
and assume that password is null, so Enter immediately. From that,
Start - Run and run
control userpasswords2
and you can select any user account and Reset Password
