HI,
It's not easy, But you can try to log in as the administrator. When the computer comes up with the login, Type over your user name and enter Administrator as the user, If this is your personal computer most manufactures don't put a password to the administrator user. So leave the password blank and press login. If it requires a password and you don't have the administrator's password, then the only other thing you can do is to reinstall Vista, and it will reinstall the program over the existing one and ask you to set up the password again. However, I warn you about the license key. Typically newer computers place the license key COA stick on the side or back of the computer. If you purchased or made a white box computer (custom made) then you may be out of luck. The software for Vista retail edition comes on the box that the software came in, if you still have that box. Otherwise, your last solution is to contact Microsoft's technical support and they will ask you all sorts of questions and sometimes they will retrieve it for you. I believe they charge you for that call unfortunetely.
Last there are certain programs you can obtain, like
Ophcrack or Cain & Abel or John The Ripper.
I'd be careful with those programs, they are free, but some can have some issues with the registry files, make sure you read their instructions very carefully.
Good Luck
Mark
