Edit: There's another technique that worked for quite a long time but I don't know if it still does.

Were you refering to a Linux boot disk? I have used that as well as a couple other recovery type boot disks (both from CD and floppy) and they work great. I have never had to runa repair-installtion to the OS to get a new password (but as stated above - it would work).
