Overriding a password?

I recently bought a new LG Laptop that has Windows Vista ome Basic on it. I
recently changed my password, and now my computer won't let me on...it says
the only way to reset my password is with a password reset disk, which I
don't have. I've tried my old password, I've tried the new one with caps on,
mispellings....everything. Is there any other way to get into my computer? To
make matters worse I have an assignment due in two days and all my work is on
there.
Seriously, I really need some help.

I am afraid there is nothing else you could do except to reinstall your
Windows.

Before you reinstall...check the net. There are lots of password reset
utilities available...many are even free.
