I have a system that dual boots XP and Vista. After some experimenting with
Vista, I became frustrated and haven't touched it for months. Now that SP1 is
out, I would like to try again, but I forgot the password and can't log into
my user account (there is only one set up for Vista). What can I do?

Hi Sharon,

This tutorial will show you how to reset the password in Vista. If you
are completely locked out of Vista, then you may end up having to make
the boot DVD from within XP in Method Three first, then use it at boot
to reset the password.

Hope this helps you,
Shawn
