John the ripper will get you the pass and then use l0ft crack to break it. I
have used this procedure to get Admin on a few computers.

Subject: 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).
