Help Resetting Passwords on XP



I posted earlier about Windows Updates screwing up and not accepting
any passwords (it would login and then quickly log out). Good News: I
was able to get the Recovery Console to give us access to the disk. We
can see C and D drives and all files are there.

Is there a way to clobber/reset passwords from the command prompt?

Our first instinct was to stick a USB Drive in and copy stuff, but the
USB drivers don't appear to be there on the recovery console.
