Default Re: Semi-senile IT guy forgets Admin Password

You need to get a BartPE CD. It will let you boot into a Pre-execution Environment and let you add administrators or change the administrator password directly.

Adding an administrator and then logging in with that is the preferred method, that way the normal Windows SAM can keep anything encrypted intact when you change the normal admins password.
