Ophcrack malware warning?

im trying to find out what my administrator password is on my computer, but COMODO firewall keeps saying that ophcrack is malware (i downloaded from ophcrack.sourceforge.net) the official site, but its still being stupid, i looked around and am told its not malware but can this really be trusted or should i try something else? im thinkin of shutting off comodo to install it

this is the message comodo gives

.UnclassifiedMalware@1 C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\My Documents\Downloads\ophcrack-win32-installer-3.3.1.exe

    most antivirus programs see password crack programs as malware, so it's not surprising to see that. If you look at ophcrack's faq page, you'll probably see a similar question asked regarding malware/virus issues.

    If you are just needing to reset the password Offline Windows Password and Registry Editor is faster/easier
