    This link from the above page (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
    ) did the trick numerous times with NT4 - a linux based floppy that
    mounts the hard drive, and by allows you to edit the local password
    database. Used on NT4 several times, once (IIRC) on W2K. It failed me
    once; a client had a NT4 server with an odd SCSI hard drive and the
    disk wouldn't mount it.
