Supports all Windows from NT3.5 to Win7, also 64 bit and also the Server versions (like 2003 and 2008).
You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a CD or USB disk to do the password reset.

There is also a registry editor (reged) can be used for other things than password editing.
