I always have believed that if I was in front of a system, I could own 
it, password wise.  The use of a live cd and quick use of chroot and 
passwd makes even the most embarrassing 'i forgot' moments go away quickly.

The URL listed is quite good (from my initial quick read) and appears to 
have a lot of utilities for such instances.

TY for the link.
