How to enable administrator login

Hi all, I have a laptop with vista home edition that I haven't used in the last several months. I have only one user admin account to which I forgot the password. As you can imagine I don't have the password reset disk as well. I understandd that the administrator account by default is disabled. How can I get back into this system. I tried the safe mode with command prompt but that too goes straight to the welcome screen with the user account listed for which I don't have the password. Please help.. Thanks in advance for your help..
