tl;dr:

• reboot in start-up repair mode
• read privacy statement of one menu should open notepad
• thanks to notepad replace sethc 1 with cmd
• so now when you press 5 times on shift it will call cmd instead of sethc 1
• you know have a shell, use command net localgroup Administrators to get a list of the admins
• type net user <ACCOUNT NAME HERE> * to change one account's password.

And here's another exploit for windows 98

Note that as soon as you can access the hard drive, you don't need to use the first trick and can switch around programs in system32 as you wish (except if windows is encrypted with bitlocker). For example you can do this with an ubuntu live cd and swap cmd with the magnifier tool and you will be able to do the same thing.
