MCA,
With NT you don't need a third party utility. All you need is any NT CD, even an evaluation copy will do plus you can use a workstation CD to break into a server. Just use the CD to install an independent second version of NT. This second version can access, change, overwite, or whatever the original version. You can even edit the registry of the orginal version from the secondary version. Using this registry editing technique you can force the execution of a system job on the original version that resets the admin password for you. At the end of the process you totally control the original NT machine.
Cracking an NT machine is a joke. Even a very inexperience hacker can do it if they have physical possession of the machine for 15 minutes or more.
As I said before, MS sells the keys to break into your system to everyone.
Another thought for you. Outlook is dangerous because many other types of MS software trust it. It is my belief that things like VBA & COM & other cross linking of MS software are inherently more dangerous than interactions between two independent systems. Once you get your hooks into any MS app there tends to be doors into other MS apps. I think we have only seen the tip of the iceberg concerning MS security lapses.
