Also try Peter Nordahl's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, Bootdisk / CD
I have had much luck with it on w2k and xp for resetting forgotten windows admin passwords. like when i recently locked my son and myself out of the home computer in an effort to restrict his usage. set his password to a random string, and reset mine to something I promptly forgot! http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html It won't crack your password but it will reset it to an empty string. log in and then set it to something you remember!
