You could download a linux iso to burn to a cd to reset local passwords

Here's a start or try googling it mate!

Use Hirens Boot CD and you can remove the password altogether.

rastus was probably after hacking to administrator's account without changing it, because if the password is changed the admin will find out

It is worth a go.

With the basic rainbow tables supplied, it couldn't crack my 8 digit complex password

It has worked on every XP machine I have tried it on, but I have to admit they all had easy passwords ie names with none or one or two numbers added.

I haven't tried it on vista, it looks like vista takes longer or may not work on it.
