I use the free NT Password boot disks, which are free.
It's really very simple to use, and takes about 30 seconds to reset (blank)
the administrator password.
Here is the web site that has images to create both CD or floppy boot disks.

Hi,

Well, I suppose using Active@ password changer in such a situation. It
works great. This small and easy to use tool can quickly reset lost or
forgotten pass, as it did for me before. You should really find it
useful, give it a try.

This person (coal_brona) is a spammer. We haven't seen him here for
quite a while and I had really hoped he had disappeared forever from
the face of the earth, but apparently and unfortunately he hasn't. He
posts regularly shilling whatever product he's got at the moment.

So don't bother responding to him.

Just wanted to chime in, I just found this thread today, used the ntpasswd
link here and it worked smartly, thanks!
