I am looking for a bootable CD/DVD (or application to be

be made bootable) that can let me mount a Windows XP
drive/partition (SP1 or
SP2), and force-crack the admin password (even if admin
account name has been
changed, but I know what it has been changed to). The
application cannot write
to the hard drive - only mount it read-only, read the
password file into ram,
and show the cracked password.
I know I can use the pnordahl utility to try and
force-change the password, but
I actually want to crack it.
The utility should be free.
This is a legal request.
Thanks for leads.

Yes, very OT.
I forgot that one... nice.
Always set Windows to NOT store the LM hashes of the passwords and pick strong passwords!
