Windows 7 Administrator Password

I have a department laptop that I use, I have forgotten the adminstrative password, is there away to reset it with out reinstalling the windows 7 operating system? I am currently using the user account on the system for my research.

Assuming the hard drive is not encrypted, one commercial option is Stellar Phoenix ($49). (Its availability highlights a machine’s vulnerability when someone gains physical access to a machine!)
