I have a similar problem :))
The solutions are kinda out of reach because I dont have a second PC to back the data and/or do the technical stuff.

The thing is that my friend's mom kept a password so that my friend's lil bro doesnt play PC games. But he changed the password and now auntyji doesnt know the pass herself :D (Youngsters). Is there any way to retrieve the password without using 2nd comp and anyother 3rd party stuff.

EDIT:: I found this page
*www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm

The author uses freeware to retrieve the passwords.
