Windows XP Pro cracker?

I need to run fixmbr from the Recovery Console on my Windows XP Pro w/ SP1 install and was looking for suggestions of a program to crack/retrieve my Admin password for the computer. Of course, I forgot to use a basic password I know and I didn't write it down so now I am in trouble. I have an Admin control level account on the machine so authority to run a app is no issue. Thanks for the help, otherwise I'll just have to keep guessing, change the password (don't really want to loose the settings) or reload if the password change doesn't take (only seen happen once).
