Google chntpw command in Linux.
It is very easy, and can be done in 1 minute.

Indeed.
Code:
x454447415244@love:/$ chntpw
chntpw version 0.99.5 070923 (decade), (c) Petter N Hagen
chntpw: change password of a user in a NT/2k/XP/2k3/Vista SAM file, or invoke registry editor.
chntpw [OPTIONS] <samfile> [systemfile] [securityfile] [otherreghive] [...]
-h This message
-u <user> Username to change, Administrator is default
-l list all users in SAM file
-i Interactive. List users (as -l) then ask for username to change
-e Registry editor. Now with full write support!
-d Enter buffer debugger instead (hex editor),
-t Trace. Show hexdump of structs/segments. (deprecated debug function)
-v Be a little more verbose (for debuging)
-L Write names of changed files to /tmp/changed
-N No allocation mode. Only (old style) same length overwrites possible
See readme file on how to get to the registry files, and what they are.
Source/binary freely distributable under GPL v2 license. See README for details.
NOTE: This program is somewhat hackish! You are on your own!

So you only have to do the following:
Code:
cp /WINDOWS_LOCATION/system32/config/sam sam
chntpw -i sam
cp sam /WINDOWS_LOCATION/system32/config/sam
Note:
But of course, you have to boot your PC with a Linux live CD (Let's say Ubuntu) and run "sudo apt-get install chntpw" from the terminal to download and install the tool.
