You have a couple different options if you have local access.

1) Use a utility to reset the password. I know winternals has one that I've used called locksmith... but it cost $$. I also know that there are some out there that are *nix based but will reset the passwords on NT/2k/XP. I don't remember the name of it though.

2) Use another admin account and change the password on the account you forgot the password to. That is assuming you have 2 user accounts with admin privledges.

3) Reinstall over itself and do a system restore. Just specify a new password after the install.

4) Use a live linux distro from CD. Knoppix would work. Copy the sam file and crack it with a 2k password cracker. You might need brute force depending on how good your passwords are.... My favorite password auditing/cracking tool would have to be L0pht's cracker... This could take tons of time though... my passwords normally thke 3 days to crack using a 1.9ghz box. (I'm anal about my boxes and passwords.)

5) Search the forum(s). I know I've read several threads just like this one... and there are more solutions to your problem... just have to take the time to find them.
