You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Nope. You're asking about an NT-based Windows, not a 95-based Windows
with no security. You'll need to enter the password or get tools to
discover it for you, some of which you have to pay for, like
WinInternals' Locksmith, or some that try to run as a hack tool to dig
out the password or replace it (I think there's Linux bootdisk that does
this). Of course, if you had searched the newsgroups or done a Google
Groups search before asking then you would have found prior inquiries
about the same memory retention defect exhibited by other users.

There's no "supported" method of obtaining passwords.
