Vista - Password Expired

04-27-2008

My Windows Vista Home Edition password expired and I can't get in. I tried to
change the password but it says my current username or password is incorrect.
I've tried typing the password in several formats, i.e., uppercase,
lowercase, title case. Nothing works. I don't have a password reset disk nor
do I have any other user accounts on the system. Is there something short of
reinstalling the operating system to resolve this? I have a PC and a laptop
networked through a wireless router.
