We've all done this at one point in our lives or another, or know someone that did. - LOST OR FORGOT OUR WINDOWS PASSWORD. I've seen so many people having to resort to re-installing their Windows and wiping out their data. Luckily for you, you won't have to do this anymore!
Petter Nordahl-Hagen has written a Windows NT/2000/XP offline password editor:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd <--- go there to download bootable program. This utility can (re)set the password of any user with a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 system, by modifying the encrypted password in the registry's SAM file. Of course, you don't have to know the old password to set a new one. It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppy disk or CD. Works with syskey (no need to turn it off, but you can if you have lost the key) Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts! Caution: If used on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or later service packs on W2K, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again!
