    Download a program called ERD Commander. It allows you to log on as the local administrator, and then give's you the option to change this password using the locksmith facility.

    home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html - password reset disk


    if the PC is on a domain then the domain admin can override the password for you.
