Yeh in this case, no gina is going to help you.  The GINA only processes the 
logon attempt and then passes the credentials back to winlogon.  It is at 
this point that the user details can be intercepted and process but this is 
reliant on a successful logon attempt - if you don't know the password and 
thus can't logon then this will not be any use.  Also, you need to be able 
to gain access to the OS in initial the GINA installation I.e. copy it onto 
the harddisk and modify the registry - again this is going to be 
problematic.

Not wanting to sound like a broken record (and defiantly off topic) but this 
is bad administration and management - no password no pay - that's what I 
say :-)

If you don't have any success with the links provided you might consider 
looking at lophtcrack - i've had some very good success in the past with 
this but i'm not sure what the situation is with XP and 2k3.

good luck...
