649264 2008-03-15 00:36:00 Did you get this far? This had me stumped for a while until someone told me this next bit.

You just have to type in the username that you want to reset the password for on the screen with the list.
It has in brackets at the end of the line next to the prompt (Administrator) which confused me at first.

without any success

with no change - just kept cycling through boot
Test hard drive revealed a bad sector.
Have replaced the hard drive and am starting a fresh install.

Thanks to everyone for your help.
