How to reset a NT passwords, using Linux
 

You may need to reset an admin password in windows for many reasons, such as you've forgotten it or you have been given a Windows system that you need to repair and don't have access to the admin password.  Thankfully it couldn't be easier with a Linux system, and a package called chntpw.
 

These are the steps I followed. I got all this information off the project pages here.
I decided to check out the latest code using subversion. You could conversly just download the lattest package and use that.
cd ~/programs/google
svn checkout http://google-gadgets-for-linux.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ google-gadgets-for-linux-read-only

Anyone who has used a derivative of Unix over the past 20 years has used Bash, which stands for Borne Again Shell. The geek in all of us makes us want to extend our ability to rule the command line. To truly master a Unix environment, you need to know a shell, and Bash is easily the most popular of them. Any Unix/Linux/BSD administrator knows the power at your fingertips is fully extended by what you can do within the Bash environment, and all of us need the best recipes to get the job done.

I use Linux because there are so many different programs and packages to choose from. Even though there are many choices out there for you, no software is perfect for everyone. Open Source Software gives you the ability to customize software to your liking because you have access to the source code.
