Vista - Locked out of administrator

I own a dell laptop and I am the administrator of the computer. I thought it might be a good idea to also make a guest account for family or friends that don't know my password. After I activated the guest account i logged off to see if the account worked. sure enough, it did, however when i tried to log in again as the administrator i recieve a message that the password is incorrect even though i never changed it.
I have already tried safe mode which didn't work. I don't have much saved on my computer so if theres any way to help with erasing old data that is okey with me.

Thanks

Hi Totallytiegs,

You might try Method Four in this tutorial to see if you can log on with your password afterwards. Even if you did not change it, something may have. If it does not work, then you can do Method Three.

Reset User Account Password

Hope this helps,
Shawn

if none of these work will i be able to send my laptop to anyone to fix it professionallly?

I also tried to find the real built in administor on the guest account but you need the admin computer to do that too.

can the Password Reset Disk in Vista be made on another computer and still work on mine??

If you mean the password reset disk from Method Three in the tutorial above, then yes it will work on your computer when made on another computer.

Right, Brink, I was talking about the Vista password method. Sorry about the
confusion.
