Petter Nordahl-Hagen's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
This is absolutely one of the best free tools to reset the administrator password and gain access that I have ever used. It modifies the encrypted password in the registry's SAM file allowing you access to the account inWindows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista systems.
There is an image file to create a bootable floppy disk or bootable CD to modify the admin password and access NTFS partitions. You do not need to know the old password to set a new one. It will also offer to unlock disabled or locked user accounts (a very helpful feature). The program was just updated on April 9, 2007 to include Vista support.

LoginRecovery.com
A great site for doing this is loginrecovery.com. Basically, you download a small program to extract the password from the computer, then you submit the encrypted password file to their site and they will recover the lost password. Of course, you need a computer with Internet access to upload the file and find the password.
With this option, the administrator password is not changed so you wont lose access to EFS encrypted files. Visit their site by clicking below

Although there are probably other options to recover an administrator password, I find the two option shown
above to be the quickest and easiest ways to either change or discover the password and allow you access to the user profile and data stored on the hard drive.
