Re: forgotten admin password

["Thor (Hammer of God)" <thor () hammerofgod com>]

I've been using Nordahl's utility for this kind of stuff with great results. 
Works with Win2k3, Vista (even x64).  Really easy, and full featured.  And 
free.  Create a boot disk and keep it with you:

You could also reset the SAM via Recovery Console from a recovery disk, but 
the above utility is far easier, and you don't wipe out all the accounts on 
the box.
