I think that rescueCD and UBCD use the same tools. I have used rescueCD
recently and can confirm that it works on 7, Vista, XP, server 2003. I
haven't used
UBCD in 5 years but it did work on XP.

For Windows 7 you can find the directions online to enable the local admin
 account and create/reset the password from the rescueCD. Using a bootable
 USB or CD.

Not legal if you are not the owner or authorised to do it but will
work to to get
admin rights to the local computer wither it is on a domain or not.
