Hello,


Well, you can simply use Active@ password changer ot resel forgotten pass. It works great and quickly, just as required. Give a try to this tool, IMHO really good one.
THIS IS WINDOWS SOFTWARE

best way I have found is using password hash insersion, inserting a custom hash into the sam file, I have used it many times on computers and I blanked the admin password on a highschool computer when I was a freshmen so I could disable vnc and do what I wanted

its called ntpasswd http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

you can download the cd iso or make a bootable floppy, your choice
