There are other boot disk that will let you change the Windoze password. I wouldn't pay for anything because there might be a lot of scams under these keywords.

Do you have a computer that works and now how to burn a disk from an iso file? If so then contact me privately and have something besides Hiren that I recently acquired to break into Win 7 machines.
