Out of principle I will not answer this question like most others on this forum.

If you want help to a basic problem, like this, then you should be expected to be directed to websites and the such. Surely self help is better than a quick and dirty solution.

Help should come to those who want to help themselves. You should not expect that everything should come in a silver platter. The solution to your problem is proprietary. Meaning, people have burnt the midnight oil and used their intellect in creating a tool to solve your problem. They should be entitled to some kind of renumeration. Anyway, you can download the trial english version of the CIACommander at HTTP://WWW.DATAPOL.DE

It is your choice.

You cannot "recover" the password without password cracking software. However, if the computer is joined to a domain, The domain administrator can log on to the domain (vs. the local computer) on this computer. He can then CHANGE the local computer administrator password. That is the only option other than reinstalling the OS.

Connect hdd to another system with win2k or winxp
delete or rename the sam.* file in winnt\config
directory . the password will become blank and then you can login. sam stands for security access manager.
