Elcomsoft System Recovery for Windows

Elcomsoft System Recovery helps when you get locked out of Windows:

Elcomsoft has released the Basic version of Elcomsoft System Recovery, an easy-to-use boot-disk application that makes it simple to access your Windows computer if you've been locked out because of password problems. Unlike the Standard and Professional versions of Elcomsoft System Recovery, which are designed for network administrators and power-users, the Basic version give business owners and home users a foolproof solution to system recovery. Purchase the program online, download the software, burn it to a CD-ROM, boot your computer, and reset the Administrator's password.

Under a special agreement with Microsoft, Elcomsoft System Recovery is based upon Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), a hardware-independent minimal Windows system that replaces the antique DOS boot disk that was used to set up new computer systems.

Elcomsoft System Recovery is completely self-contained, allowing you to access each of your desktops and workstations (but not servers), without the need for third-party or proprietary software. Simply insert the CD, and boot your computer.
