IT people need some help QUICKLY!

I found a boot disk that will reset the admin password, but I'm not 100% sure that the admin account is still named Administrator. I would like to find a Linux or whatever boot disk that will allow me to reset/recover ANY user's password. Recovery is preferred if only so I know WTF happened to it; not sure if its user stupidity or something they DLed that f-ed up their machine. TIA!!

All the ones I have seen only reset Administrator, because you can change the others from Administrator.

I have been googling and until now hadn't found this:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

Looks like that might do it?

Assuming Administrator is still named Administrator, I should be able to use any of them; but I don't have a lot of time to deal with this today and wanted that ground covered come time to fix this crap. Stupid damn farmers :|
