    Windows7 Password Reset (Location of Registry/SAM?)

    I've forgotten my windows 7 password to the admin account and so now I'm using Offline NT & Registry Editor to try and reset it.
    I keep getting stuck on step TWO: Select PATH and registry files.

    The default is not working and I have no idea what else to try, thanks in advance
