Fraid its a backup/format/reinstall unless you fancy spending some serious dollars.

Heres a section from M$s forgotten password policy -

MICROSOFT ENGINEERS CANNOT ASSIST, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, IN THE BREAKING OF PASSWORDS APPLIED TO FILES AND FEATURES WITHIN MICROSOFT PROGRAMS. It is technically not possible for Microsoft engineers to break the password on a password-protected file or feature within a Microsoft program. The password-protection systems built into Microsoft programs are designed to be unbreakable; there would be no point in including a password-protection system that could be broken.

If you are unable to open a file that is protected with a password, follow the steps in the "If Your Password Isn't Working" section, below. If you are still unable to open the file, Microsoft engineers cannot assist you. However, you may be able to obtain assistance from a third-party password breaker.

Hello

Thanks but right now I would like to know if there is any help available on the internet.

Thanks for letting me know the standard microsoft rules which unfortunately don 't apply to what I have to do at this time.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick.

You can't reset the admin password. You need a Third-Party Password Breaker who'll charge you a ridiculous amount of money.
