does not remember password for administrator account. How
to recover forgotten passwords without reformating??
 
One of my users had a similar problem on his home PC. I
found a utility thats creates a Linux boot disk to
manipulate the SAM file which holds the encrypted password.
In ym experience using this tool, to make this tool work
you can not be part of a domain, and you must set your
password to nothing (not the word nothing but literally
nothing, you can change it once you get back into windows)
or it will fail to work. Here is a link
