If all you are trying to do is reset the administrator password on a box that you have physical access to, try out Petter Nordahl's Offline NT Password & Registry editor. Works on NT, Win2k, even with syskey enabled!

Petter makes it available as a boot floopy, but I've created a bootable cd iso image from it as well.

My bootable cdrom iso image for the above is at:

I'd guess this should help.
