Could also try ophcrack live cd -- it is a decent password cracking utility that does a pretty good job of fiinding the password

Here is a tutorial on using it -- https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-recover-passwords-using-ophcrack-livecd-2626168

I've used this with XP and Win7 a few times with great results.
Just do what it suggests and blank the password.
