| I'm presuming that you never went to the trouble to create a password reset disc, so at this point, you will have to purchase a third-party product to do this, and you need another computer that can burn CDs -- because you will have to make your own password reset boot disc. BTW, you will NOT be able to recover your password; instead, you will be able to blank your password so that you can login and set a new one.
If you're interested, the link below is a starting point:

| You could try downloading and burning the UBCD for windows, though i dont know if it works with Vista yet or not.
another free one is ophcrack. Again dont know if its vista tested or not. |

| Is it XP or doesnt vista have a backdoor login?
Something like pressing ctrl alt delete at the logon screen, and theres no password? |

What would be the point of making Vista more secure if such an obvious back-door were available?? In answer to your question -- no.
