I'd heard about Hiren's Boot CD before, but I never needed it until last weekend. There were a few Windows machines that none of us knew the passwords or even account names to anymore. Using Hiren's Boot CD, we were easily able to get back in. We could see the accounts on the machine, we could reset the passwords, and we could lock/unlock accounts. It was very convenient.
There aren't many times most people would need a tool like this, but it's nice that it's there just in case. Read more about it (and get links to it) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiren's_BootCD A mac version of this type of program seems to be Boot-123.
