windows 8 password crack

hi, can anyone recommend a good password cracking software that can either clear passwords for administrator or see the password for administrator.  Our client cannot access his laptop and it won't let us boot in to the windows side.

Thanks
Chris

please help

ophcrack is for guessing the password. Use any of the above methods to remove the password.
i need to guess the password none of the above are working.
cheers

I used mine offen on 8/8.1, always worked. What happened?
By the way, it would remove the password and blank it. It would also eventually be used to enable accounts.

How far did you get?
If you need to guess the password, then you may have a problem.
Even with a medium strength password (8-10 characters, only letters and numbers) you may spend days trying to recover it.

You only need 5 min to remove it, so...
Sorry my fault, in the end i didn't need to crack any passwords, managed to get the files off  the laptop and then reinstall windows.
I've requested that this question be closed as follows:

for the following reason:

Managed to copy files and reinstall windows 8.1 without cracking password.
The question was:
can anyone recommend a good password cracking software that can either clear passwords for administrator or see the password for administrator

This question has valid answers. That the OP did not use any of the answers and decided to reinstall Windows does not mean the solutions are not correct.
apologies for sending this email in regarding password cracking my fault.
