    Login password lost – Vista

    Hi
    My Step daughter bought a Vista Business edition Laptop. In her
    excitement she set up a main account for personal use and a limited
    account for work. She has used it for work and has forgotten her main
    password. No recovery discs were made and she is not sure where the
    documentation or accompanying discs are.

    She is a lovely girl so what can you say. Any help getting into her
    main account appreciated.

    I'm not the OP, but
    FWIW, I tried this program, and it didn't work.
    It said it couldn't find an installed OS.
    I'm running Vista SP2, so maybe it doesn't recognize the beta.......
