Winternals has some tools but there is also a free Linux based boot floppy
which will change your admin password.
Like the MS rep, beware though, I have had mixed results with the Linux
floppy - it trashed one machine but worked fine on another.
The Winternals software is much better but costs $$. I believe it just
creates a new (temporary) SYSTEM service which resets the Admin password
upon next boot - working similar to the old NT4 trick/s.
