Hi,
I found a good Debian app for changing windows passwords, I think it is 
something like:
cnpwd
I can find it for you if you are not able to locate it.
It works well.

thanks for all of the replies.

I downloaded GRML, and I will try it out more in-depth soon.

I just need something which I can use to work on Windows or Linux
computer systems (more often Windows based systems). One example would
be that of backing up data on a system with a broken Windows
installation or doing something like virus scanning or password
restoration GRML seems like it would be a great candidate.
