You don't, that would defeat the purpose of a password. Your option is pretty much reformatting the PC. Sorry.

Wouldn't this require access to an OS...?

Hirens disk has password manager, that just lets you delete the local password SAM hash, allowing you access with no password.

Enjoy
Tried too on a xp machine...10 days and 8 hours later I formatted teh HDD. Good luck, hope you'll be better thn me...

Incorrect Sir, you can boot to a Linux Kernal that will allow modification of the SAM file which holds the password hashes. It's a nifty trick that works on 99% of the time.

Than I stand corrected; but I was mainly going off of the fact he has windows; and it has a password.

Aren't you talking about "Network Password Recovery 1.32"tool in the CD, isn't it?

Just take the hard drive out and put it into another computer. You will be able to access all the files that way.
In my opinion, it would be more respectful to your deceased grandmother; if you didn't try to break into her personal (>.>) computer. If she legit gave it to you that is one thing, but if not that is pretty much the same thing as grave robbing.

What would be on an elderly (*cough* maybe not *cough) woman's computer that you want to access anyway?

Did you ever think perhaps they were re-purposing the computer? Or wanted some of the photos off the computer to remember her by? This is not an uncommon situation.

I stated the option of her giving it to him... If she didn't, regardless of his motives, it is still screwed up to dig through a dead woman's property.
