Here are 5 of these free tools:
1. Windows Password recovery - Can retrieve forgotten admin
and users' passwords in minutes. Safest possible option, does
not write anything to hard drive.

2. Petter Nordahl-Hagen's Offline NT Password & Registry
Editor - A great boot CD/Floppy that can reset the local
administrator's password.

3. Openwall's John the Ripper - Good boot floppy with
cracking capabilities.
