'The User Profile Service service failed the logon' and forgotten password?????

I have a Vista laptop and am having some major trouble.
I received the 'The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded'. Its been like this for about a month and I have forgotten the laptop password (I have always used a fingerprint scanner so I forgot my password.)
My questions now are how I do repair the computer and also restore the password?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated as I am totally stuck

That worked perfectly. I am not the most advanced user and it worked perfectly and with great instructions. Thank you!

Hey fellow Sydneysider!
Thanks for the information. I was beginning to try this when my computer did a system restore. It took about 20 minutes and recovered itself? Cool. Thanks for your help.
