Had this problem come up yesterday on a POS that has no CD drive. I used NT Offline Password and Registry editor from a USB stick. Download the iso and open the readme, it explains how to set it up. It has problems resetting the password on XP but you can blank it and then boot to Windows to set a password.

I was assuming that like my situation, the user had no idea what the previous "tech" had set as the password.

Well you can format a USB so it boots as a floppy and put the offline password changer on it.
You ought to have an external CD drive anyway to be honest.

Agree. You'll save yourself a lot of time on workarounds if you just get yourself an external CD drive.

With the NT Offline you do not need to format the drive, but I agree that you should have a USB CD drive. I had been using it at the office and forgot to put it back in my travel kit. Time to buy another to be safe!
