Pat, There is a Linux boot disk that can edit a local SAM file. You can boot the target machine with it and change a specific password directly.

I have an incident where someone gave himself administrative rights the domain but insists "all" he did was modify the SAM file on the local machine. This doesn't sound right but I am not sure. Thanks for any help...
