A guy that I know forgot his password to his user account. Worse, his admin account is also locked out. Is there any good and easy way for to crack them open ? I am going to try to reset the password using windows XP cdrom. But that might not work.

Install that on a computer, then burn the ISO image to a CD. Boot up on the locked computer from that CD, and there is a utility to reset the password.
