I can't remember what it's called and I don't have the time to hunt around for it atm.

But it was there when I needed it around 3 years ago for an old NT 4 box. Changed the administrator password to what you want it to be. The programs quite good, as you need to be physically at the machine hence it's not viewed as a security risk.

IIRC you boot from a floppy and then run the program
