We are looking for some password resetting/cracking/etc software that will be compatible with Windows 7 and it's predecessors. We were using ERD with Locksmith to reset admin passwords for computers that weren't getting our updates and none of our recent passwords were working. The ERD we have doesn't play well with Windows 7. I'm looking for anything Linux based or anything that we can keep for a while if we have to pay for it. Linux based are usually free, but with the level of some people, we'd like to see a GUI if possible or a way without having to mount anything. If we get a version that we pay for, I'd like to make sure it's easy to use for everyone and it be something that each of us can carry around on a flash drive or something very portable.

The following is a free, portable, easy to use tool which is compatible with Windows 7. http://4sysops.com/archives/forgot-the-administrator-password-the-sticky-keys-trick/

I wanted to try out one called "OphCrack".

Hi, we not propose to use third party tools to reset password of Windows 7. It might be release unexpected issue to the system. We suggest creating Windows 7 Password Reset Disk and use it to reset lost password.
