[Gllug] Windows XP 64 bit password reset from Ubuntu - where is the equivalent of SAM?

I'm getting nowhere trying to reset a forgotten 64 bit XP password from
Ubuntu 9.10 - all references seem to lead to 32 bit ../system32/SAM and
chntpw. And I can't find the equivalent in 64 bit directory structure.

What should I be looking for (and will chntpw still work on whatever
file the passwords are hidden within in XP 64?)

Got me banging head against wall which is waking the baby up.

Many thanks
