How to Reset Windows NT, XP and Vista Admin Password
ADVERTISEMENTSMany times we forget the Windows admin password and end up re-installing the OS again. Offline NT Password is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista system. This utility works on the principle that Windows stores its user information, including encrypted passwords, in a file usually found in \system32\config.
Important Note: Resetting a user’s or administrator’s password on some systems might cause data loss, especially EFS-encrypted files.
Feature of this Utility;
- Reset password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista.
- No need to know the old password to set a new one.
- It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppy disk or CD.
- Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts.
You can read the complete FAQ on resetting password using this utility.

I’m now using password organizer. It helps me a lot to memorize my password. But I’ll note your tip in case I need it. Hopefully not

The only issue I have with tools that modify registry is that it is a big risk. You can render your system useless. But I guess it’s not much useful if you have forgotten your password and cannot login
