Password reset for win7?

[Copyright]

My aunt managed to change her password and forget it. I am trying to reset it for her but every utility I find cost $. I used to have free utilities a while back that could do it but lost track of them. What can I use to change her password that is actually free?

I tried this one but failed to reset it each time. Is thre a program i can use when the drive is mounted in my PC? Something wiht more of a GUI?

You should be able to take the ISO, mount it to get the actual app, then run it and point it to the SAM location.
X:\windows\system32\config\sam (I think)

(X = the other drive)

Tried mounting it and was not able to get it working.

sorry if I'm stating the obvious as I'm sure youve tried this, but enter safe mode, login as admin (prob no password?), then control panel to remove the password of her account.

Admin account was disabled on this PC.. .I got it finally. I did some reading and found out that clearing hte password usually works when resetting it to something different does not.. So I cleared it and I am in!
