How do I retrieve the admin password if I have forgotten? I have changed the default password to something else. Now I can not login since I do not remember the new password.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

The Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor bootdisk can reset passwords. It's free and I've had good results with it in the past.

More or less tested from NT3.5 up to Windows 7, including the server versions like 2003 and 2008. Also 64 bit windows supported.
