They do work but usually this means booting from a CD so you'll need an
external drive or the skills to make a bootable flash drive.

You'll need to create a bootable usb stick, details here:

Once you've booted it you'll see a load of Linux stuff.
Just accept the defaults to delete the password.

You don't say which version of windows. If it is XP, try booting into
safe mode and then use the hidden administrator account. Otherwise you
will have to use one of the methods others have suggested.
