Reset Windows 7 Password?

Has anyone found a link to a free boot disk to reset windows 7 passwords?

No free ones. I see the only way to make one from Windows 7 is to use a floppy or usb flash.

I found this one and tested it on a virtual pc and it seemed to work here is the download link http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/0...user-password/ This one shows how to use it PCLoginNow, How to Reset or Recover Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista Administrator Password with PCLoginNow. I don't know if there is any effect on encrypted or password protected files.
I wonder what genius at MS decided to use floppy disk! I found a reset disk from either 7000 or 7100 but it doesn't work the wizard only allows floppy drive.
