Is it possible to find the admin password on Vista?

Is there a way to find the admin password on Vista, when you can only log into the guest account?

Thanks.

THe only non-hacky way I know of is, if you remember an old password, use system restore to restore the system back. But, you lose everything you installed since then. also, you have to be sure you remember the old password, otherwise you have just hosed your system for no reason, and of course, if you don;t have restore points, or don;t remember the old password, then this system won't work.


There are several tools out there that allow you to hack into Windows, but I haven;t used any

My late father's computer (XP) was Windows password locked, and Circuit City was able to unlock it so we could get to his documents. They charged us like $30 and it took about 5 minutes. I'm sure Best Buy coud do the same. The tech did say we were lucky there was a guest account otherwise it would have been much more difficult.
