Found my CD! Trinity Rescue Kit
This one linky is dedicated to password recovery only and as I recall, it's VERY easy to use. Just download it to bootable media for the laptop, boot from it and follow directions.
After you boot Trinity Rescue Kit, you should see the following screen. Scroll down to the “Windows password resetting” option, then hit Enter. Next select the “Winpass prompts for username first” option. TRK will ask you the username for the account for which you want to reset the password.
