    It may be easier to bring it back into work and ask your IT guys to reset the password.

    If it's been on a domain, you'll find yourself with a pain in your head until it's removed from the domain.

    There are NT password crackers which you can download, but they can consume a large part of your day.

    It might be quicker to set it as a slave drive on another system and remove what you want off it then format it and do a fresh install of Windas. :)
