I've always used Winpass to gain access in the past.
I had it on a bootable disc as part of Trinity Rescue Kit also known as TRK.
May be helpful in future to others with the same problem.

I tried hirens last time on a windows laptop, and no matter which tool I used, I couldn't get into the laptop. They're linux live cds from what I remember. @chookey you got a link for that TRK?

Hirens x2 , make a usb bootable stick, boot into Hirens , change / dump password
