There are ways to do it with some of the bootable Linux distros.  I have
done it once for a friend, but I'll have to see if I can find what I used
and get back to you.

Thanks,
Bobby

Subject: [H] Recovering an Admin Password in Vista

Short version:  My last child in the house, my last son, has a Vista 
install that my wife 'wisely' decided to place an admin password on and 
then promptly forgot it.  Now the only account that we know the password 
to, my son's, is locked down and we can't install anything.  Is there 
any way, other than a reinstall, to recover or change the admin password?

Thanks....Steve
