I found this one and tested it on a virtual pc and it seemed to work here is the download link Link Removed - Not Found This one shows how to use it Link Removed - Invalid URL I don't know if there is any effect on encrypted or password protected files.
I wonder what genius at MS decided to use floppy disk! I found a reset disk from either 7000 or 7100 but it doesn't work the wizard only allows floppy drive.

If it's Windows XP, just log on as administrator (assuming the administrator account has no password, which is quite likely). Whilst I haven't used XP for a while, I think that if you start Windows in Safe Mode, you can also get access to the Administrator account at the Windows login (I could be wrong, but worth checking). Once logged in as administrator, you can remove the password for the other user account(s).

If you want to reset an administrative password on Windows, you need to be logged into a secondary account with administrative rights, once logged in, open the command prompt as an administrator, type in ( without the quotes): " net user %username% * "
This will prompt you to enter a new password for the account.
NOTE: %username% is a variable which holds the current ( logged on ) user name. Please replace %username% with the account name you wish to reset the password for.
If you have no secondary accounts try running a live version of Windows/Linux from a disc or 3rd party tools.
