Easy. With Linux :)

Have a look at: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

This is a Linux boot disk with NTFS support. It is usually used to 
reset forgotten passwords, but there is a BASIC registry editor.

"This release features full basic registry edit with add/del keys and 
values and resizing values."

There are limitiation to is, but it may give you what you need to at 
least get in a little bit.

I have never used this, but I've heard good things about it.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a 
mistake when you make it again.
