If you can't remember or never knew the Windows password, help is here.

Yesterday, a user at my major IT client made a mess of her machine by
deleting herself as a user. The Administrator password was not documented
so I couldn't log into the machine to help. I called Jay, thinking he must
have dealt with this problem before at GWNI. Sure enough, he had. Jay sent
me the url above and a copy of the program.
I ended up downloading a newer version of the software and made a boot
floppy. Shazaam!!! I cleared the Administrator password, logged in, fixed a
bunch of stuff (but not everything unfortunately) and logged out.
This is a must-have item in your sysadmin toolkit.
