I've just tried doing that but it requires admin password and the same thing
comes up when i enter my password. It's not saying that its a bad password.
Just that 'The user has not been granted the requested logon type on this
computer'

Hello Ashley,
It was stupid of me even making such suggestions in my last post. I apologize.
I have a link for you. It is for resetting passwords. In that tutorial, there are several Methods. If you have Vista Installation DVD, you can choose Method Five, otherwise Method Three is the ONLY one applicable to your case. Both are quite involving. Please read carefully before you jump in. Now I personally have never try any of those 2 before, so if you have questions regarding the methods, I may not be able to answer. Reason being, wrong advice could be detrimental to your computer integrity.
I'm not washing my hands, just to hit home that I know less than you think. Here is the link. Good luck.
