I'd rather recommend Sala's Password Renew as part of BartPE

and this is news to you?
try reboot in safe mode. sometimes people will put a password on their user account but not on the admin account. in safe mode you can access admin and log in without any passwords asked.

lol. Locksmith on ERD commander does the job too. Always were useless. Applies to Server 2003 too

If someone has physical access to the machine then passwords are the least of your worries.

whats the big deal? linux/unix are also just as vulnerable when you have physical access.. Thats why you use encryption

if i have physical access i can just take the HDD. and no encryption is proof against a brute force attack and on a hard drive directly

sure if you have a super computer and all the patience in the world
