Angry admin password doesnt work

When I go to the windows recovery console, i type in the admin password but it says its invalid, even though i created one. how do i change the admin password? I went into windows with safe mode, then went to control panel, user accounts, and set a password for the admin, but I it didnt work.

you need a software called Winternal Admin Pack with Lock Smith module,, that would allow you to change any password on Windows 2000, XP, 2000 Server and Advance server system (very powerful stuff)

cheers
