Vista - Forgotten password

I have recently purchased a ASUS laptop which has windows vista installed on it . I have logged on to it when I first got it but when I turned it back on a couple of days later it has locked me out asking for a password but I had never entered a password last time and have no idea what it would be . It has two users installed on it one says Mobile Manager and the other says Mine both asking for passwords and both are unknown to me . I have a desktop that I am using presently with Window XP on it but would love to be more mobile with the laptop can anyone help ?? Leighton

Have you tried the password "Admin"? without the "s of course.

I recently had a similar problem with my Vista desktop PC. I tried a password recovery tool, but didn't get anywhere. Dell said I'd have to reinstall Vista to get my computer back. If you get to the point where you have to re-install Vista, the reinstall will wipe your data files. If you want to save any data, you might do as I did. Remove the drive from your laptop and install it in a stand alone enclosure. Connect the enclosure to your desktop (mine was an XP machine and I used the USB port) and you should be able to read/copy all of your data files. Then you can replace the drive in your laptop and do the reinstall. Good luck.
