from else where hope this helps


You cannot reset it directly as a reset way function. However, you can
remove that password and type a new one instead, by following the steps
here -> Restart your PC, and hold the F8 keyboard button and as You
enter the Windows® Boot Menu you will see some different choices,
choose Safe Mode with Networking. Now Windows® will start in Safe Mode.
Select the default Administrator account from the login, the password
can be blank. If you are lucky and passed the login, then you’re able to
edit your original account.

Windows 7 Password Reset Disk : forgot to make one? might help

Petter Nordahl-Hagen has written a Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista offline password editor: Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor

Not tried it on Windows 7 but see no reason why it wouldn't work - bit cryptic but sound

This one is free...

if you have hirans boot disk preferable version 11 or a recovered later version in the password section there is a password remover for any account on machine also there is a password remover in active@boot disk. they both load up the sam database and alowe you to change password.

neither unfortunately tell you what current password is just clear to nothing or change to a new one.

both work on xp/vista/win7
