Install a second copy of Windows NT on the server. You could just install NT Workstation.
Boot up the second install.
Use Start --> Settings --> Conrtol Panel --> System --> Startup to change the default boot to load your original install.
In the original Windows NT folder, navigate to the %SystemRoot%\System32 subdirecory.
Save a copy of logon.scr, the default logon screen saver.
Delete logon.scr.
Copy CMD.EXE to logon.scr.
Shutdown and restart your original install.
Wait for the logon screen saver to initiate. It will actually open a CMD prompt, in the security context of the local system account. It will take a longer period of time to open up... so be patient.
Type MUSRMGR, into the CMD prompt to execute User Manager, and reset the Administrator's password to something you won't again forget. Delete the logon.scr from %SystemRoot%\System32.
Rename the saved default screen saver back to logon.scr.
