be careful:

overwriting the pw offline will work with efs on w2k.
it will not work with winxp/2003: you cant access any efs-data after 
resetting the password offline.

you'll have to crack the usesrs or the admins pw and either logon 
interactively or export their keys to get access to the efs-encrypted data.
