quest. I seen all the things that cost money to redo the password. but is

Only ONE method that works for Vista. ONE method.

I walked my sister through it just this past week.

You will need to have a burner that will burn ISO files - Google
ImgBurn.

And you will need the detailed instructions for using the disc you
burned:

Have you tried to enter through the Administrator. For user enter Administrator and
for the password leave it Blank. See if you can enter like that. Post back and let
us know, If you enter then I will tell you how to change the forgotten password

If you can start the machine into the command prompt and what not you can
try this:

Else, you can try to reboot your system into safe-mode with the **default
Admin** account
and change her password there.

Once you do this create a password reset disk which can be put on a USB or
w/e.

So you can then shut down some of these other insecure tools.

Like setting a password to your default (hidden, per se) Admin account.

You will most likely have to enter the following at command prompt:
* Get the user account name.
Do not need to use: net user exampleAccount examplePassword /domain

IIRC, the /domain switch isn't needed on your system.
