This question is asked and answered every week. Search this newsgroup or
www.jsiinc.com for the word "password" to find several good answers. One
possibility involves using a special Linux boot disk. Another way is to
rename the SAM file.

L0phtcrack should have been able to get the password, if you use the right
options and wait long enough.
