Out of all the disaster recovery software I tested, Winternals Admin Pak was, hands down, the best. When you can not only repair machines locally (including resetting the Admin password), but also PXE boot them and repair them from across the network, you have my vote.

cBYTE, you're gonna have a hard time getting your password off the machine. Your best bet is to use one of the online utilities (most you can download a trial version), and reset your password. Like Info Tech Geek mentioned, Google it.

If your really intent on cracking the SAM, Lophtcrack (http://www.evadenet.com/downloads/lophtcrack.shtml) is one of the best utilities. Now, depending on your password length and complexity, Lophtcrack may run for a month or two, but eventually it'll get it.

Good Luck.
