Friends changed password to log in to vista and then forgot it

My former friends changed my password to log into vista and then forgot what it is! what is that, well anyways now i'm really out of luck because I cant get into my computer. I have the ultimate 64bit vista, on my old computer which was vista home premium I was able to hit one of the Fkeys before windows started and set the date back to when it had factory settings. Is there anyway I can do this with mine I do not have any of the disks to reload windows. Please help!
