Hi
You might try to reset the local Administrator password with one of the methods

Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway
Administration scripting examples and a ONLINE version of the 1328 page
Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter
that will let you reset the password of any account on NT4, Windows2000 or
XP.
Just follow all the default settings which are for the admin account. Used
it many
times with great success.
I also made a bootable CD image you can download from
