I doubt this option is available, given that the recovery process is pretty
much a last resort.
However, there's a scarily powerful utility at
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html
<http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html> that can reset the
local administrators password on any NT machine.

If this computer belongs to a domain there are 2 administrator accounts that
get setup. One is the computername/administrator and the other is
domainmainname/administrator.
This is asking for the local administrator account
-computername/administrator.
In Windows 2000 you
Right Click My Computer and select Manage.
Expand Local Users and Groups, click on Users, highlight Administrator in
the right hand pane, click Action in the menu and then select Set Password.
This will set the local administrator account password.

One of my colleagues is trying to use the recovery option in Windows XP. He
put the CD in and went through to the recovery option, it brings him out to
a prompt and asks him for the admin password. The admin password on the
laptop was entered, and it doesn't allow him past the password prompt
(meaning it's not the right password, :-) ) He went back in to verify the
password, changed it to something else, and it still won't let him in. Is
there a way to reset that password so that he can get in to run a chkdsk or
is this not possible without reformatting the laptop?
