Try a third part windows password recovery tool.
Windows Password Unlocker is a powerful Windows Password Recovery that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten password. Simply boot your PC from the supplied Boot CD, and get access to forgotten Windows and administrator passwords in just seconds. Their method is so much faster/easier, and works great!

there’s a lot of windows utilities are there ! but as a professional we have to use Linux. otherwise you can use many tools like ERD commander,drraj etc to reset the windows password. Main thing is that chntpw works great on all windows architecture 2k,xp,2k3,longhorn,vista and 7.
