I am having somewhat the same problem in XP Pro. I have
posted a message in here too. I was looking for an
alternate and searched the web and found
http://www.lostpassword.com/windows-xp-2000-nt.htm
they charge $200 for their software which I can't afford.
So I am also looking for any knowledgable person to help
us out here.

help please.
