SOURCE: How do i recover password running windows vista?
For these situations, I recommend:
1. Think hard, was the password tied to something you'd remember by going over common things in your life? Names of family member or important dates that only you would know are common.
2. Try a password recovery program - http://www.recoverlostpassword.com
3. The least desirable option is reinstalling Vista from the disc.
1. If you enter the wrong password when you attempt to log on, Windows displays a message that the password is incorrect. Click OK to close the message.
2. Click Reset password, and then insert your windows password reset disk (or other removable media).
3. Follow the steps in the Password Reset Wizard to create a new password.
4. Log on with the new password. If you forget your password again, you can use the same password reset disk. You don't need to make a new one.
Solution 2: Reset (recover) windows password with password software.Steps as below:
Step 1: Download and install Windows Password Reset.

Step 3: Boot your computer from password reset boot disk.
