So long story short after taking Astrum's advice I dowloaded a Linux client http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12 and it worked fast. I reset my passwords in less than 2 minutes. The tool works on 2000/XP/Vista. Damn, never knew it was that easy to bypass a password that easily. Video for using the tool (its just one function of the linux client) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/316013/hack_windows_vista/http://www.metacafe.com/watch/316013/hack_windows_vista/ Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/11654-useful-password-recovery-tool/

For us slackers who don't want to click on video or research it ourselves :-P. (I think astrum told me about this once but I don't remember) Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/11654-useful-password-recovery-tool/#findComment-126717
Itch Posted January 12, 2009 Content Count: 3440 Joined: 12/12/07 Status: Offline Share Posted January 12, 2009 In about as simple terms as possible.. It allows you to re-write the password file for Windows XP/2000 You boot from a linux based CD. And then either blank out or replace the password for the user you select. If someone forgets the Administrator password for a system this becomes very useful. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/11654-useful-password-recovery-tool/#findComment-126727

Itch Posted January 12, 2009 Content Count: 3440 Joined: 12/12/07 Status: Offline Share Posted January 12, 2009 If they know what they are doing at your work your machine has a BIOS password to prevent you from booting from CD.. (that's not to say there aren't ways around that, but you've really got to want it) Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/11654-useful-password-recovery-tool/#findComment-126734
