Although this isn't really an ubuntu thing, download opcrack, rainbow table cracker for Windows passwords. Works a treat, I have used it a few times to get into machines when I have been desperate. More info available at http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ At least that link gets it back onto the topic of Linux which is kinda related to ubuntu.
