I agree, that's my favorite. Even showed me the MS Office key on some machines. Just posted it 'cause it was XP specific.

has anyone seen one that will work through dos?

I have NTFS 5 pro which will mount a ntfs partition in dos so that it is usable, but I can't boot to a customers xp install. I need the admin password to run a recovery console, but the customer can't remember what password they entered.

If there was a key grabber that worked in dos, I could grab their password, log into the recovery console, fix the registry and send the customer on their way. otherwise I have to re-install from scratch.

I'm not sure there is one for dos but here's (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/) a way to reset that admin password. (for blank put in * instead of just leaving it blank and it *should* work)

In NTFS PRO just browse to the c:\windows\system32\config folder and delete teh SAM.EXE & SAM.LOG files and the admin password will be blank. All you will have to do is press enter when it asks for the password.

You will need to call Microsoft to get a new COA. You will most likely need to prove that you bought it.
