How To Bypass Administrator Password
You just select the windows password reset option, select the defaults for file locations, and then select the user and the password to change. I've used it on Windows 2000 machines, Windows XP machines, Windows 2000 Server machine. Works flawlessly. One recommendation: If you do use it, just use. as the new password. This will blank out the old password. Then you can boot into windows and safely login with no password and change it to whatever you like.
Sometimes these utilities have issues with different flavors of windows re-encrypting a new password so it's best to just blank it out.You will need to take the ISO file and use CD burner software to burn a CD. You must use the 'burn a CD from a Disk Image' (or some option like that) that uses the Image file (ISO file) as input and burns a multi-file bootable CD.Good Luck. I followed your instructions and my computer restarted as if new. I then set up my user password.
So now I have a 'clean' computer, as if I'm a new user. BUT all my previous photos, documents, etc, etc are nowhere to be seen.

Shows the folder 'appleimac', the previous identity for which I had no password and no disk, thus stopping me installing new software, etc. But I can't get access; my folders are there within 'appleimac', but I'm told I don't 'have sufficient access privileges'. I can start afresh with my 'new identity', but all my previous stuff is locked away -temporarily, I hope!
