I have downloaded windows password key 8.0. It is a very quick and useful utility for resetting

passwords. It not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password.
Just an easy to use bootable CD/DVD . It can also be used on a USB Flash Drive.

There are lots of Windows password reset tools around (never heard of ntpasswd - I’ll have to check it out…). If you have a copy of, or access to, or can burn a copy of UBCD4Win, there are tools it contains which will let you access the HDD installation without actually logging in….

(And for those out there who object to me posting this info as a security risk/hacker tool, it’s been mentioned in these forums several times and is readily available from a web search….)

I agree with you. I am a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and these tools are used for regular administrative activities and not just malicious uses.
