Windows 7 Password Reset

Hello,

One of my users has a windows 7 laptop that is not on a domain.  This user decided to change the admin password and they forgot what they changed it too.  Whats worse is that this was the only user id on the laptop.  I do have physical access to the laptop.  Is there any way to reset the password?  Maybe something like winternals for Windows 7?

I thought of the restore but my user changed the password months ago....used the laptop for a few weeks....made a lot of changes.....and then put it on a shelf.  Any other recommendations besides a kick in the a$$
