I am struggling to reset the administrator password on my Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. Unfortunately, I do not remember the password and cannot access the system. I have tried use a password reset disk or access the built-in administrator account, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

I have no idea how it works and for Microsoft to have their own password cracking tool assuming it's available to the general public seems not intelligent. It'd mean Microsoft would be providing the tools necessary to break into their own machines. I'd expect most consumers wouldn't like to hear that.
