http://www.clazh.com/how-to-hack-or-crack-a-windows-xp-administrator-password/
This site explains how to hack a Window XP Administrator Password. It gives a brief explanation by explaining where you navigate to and from which file to which and what needs to be done.
Example: "You are navigating to the windows system Directory where the system files are stored. Next you’re creating a temporary directory called mkdir. After which you are copying or backing up the logon.scr and cmd.exe files into the mkdir then you are deleting the logon.scr file and renaming cmd.exe file to logon.scr”.
“So basically you are telling windows is to backup the command program and the screen saver file. Then we edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, we will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this commandnet. user password
Example: If the admin user name is clazh and you want change the password to pass Then type in the following command: net user clazh pass
This will change the admin password to pass. That’s it you have successfully hacked the Window XP Administrator Password now you can Log in, using the hacked Window XP Administrator Password and do whatever you want to do”.

At this site you can purchase some CD’s that have programmes on that will assist in hacking. There are numerous. I suppose you will need to know what you are looking for. You can shop until you find something that meets your requirements.

I agree that it is good for this information to be available. The hackers have it anyway. The normal administrator or IT technicians needs to be aware of the hazards and the vulnerable places and the need to have secure passwords as well as changing them regularly to avoid a ‘break in’.

They should monitor hacker sites to stay on top of new knowledge and break through. This is where they will get the latest and best information to be prepared for an attack.
