I use NTPASSWD. Free, effective and I'm in.
For those challenged by that, I suggest http://www.lostpassword.com
For those that won't accept the password clearing method there is Ophcrack at http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/
Windows ME is an odd request as there is no password in that version. Just tap escape and you're in!
