windows bootup password?

just got a call from one of my customers... he can't get into his laptop
because his son changed the password and doesn't remember it now. I get one
or two calls like this each year from friends and it's usually easier to
just rebuild their drive, since it's usually loaded with "junk" anyway. In
this case, that's not a good option, so I'd like to find something simple
and cheap that will let me either recover or change the password. Maybe
something that runs from a bootable CD or even a floppy disk? Any
suggestions?
