Dear Michael,
use a search engine and search for "NT password reset" . Surely you will
find methods of resetting the password. There are ISO images of bootable
linux cds that boot and access the NTFS partition giving you the option to
reset the password for any of the NT accounts.
Regards,
Marios A. Spinthiras
P.S forgive me for not giving you a direct link but I do not want to violate
any mailing list regulations.
