Forgot Password in Vista Home Premium

Hello all

Recently I've got a laptop wich came with WIndos Vista HOme Premium
installed. I decided to put a Password in my administrator account, but I've
forgotten it...And there is no other open account, just the administrator one
of wich I've lost the password - I didn't create a pssword reset disk.

Is there anything I can do? Can You please Help me?
--
Thank You for the attention

Enable the hidden Administrator account,

Logoff, logon using that account, reset your own account's password.

You're absolutely right! I have no idea what I was thinking about
when I replied. I left out an important part. Thanks for bringing it
up.

If the OP is still looking for a fix - and I doubt it since it's been
so long - entering Safe Mode and logging in as Administrator will
enable going to the user account area and changing the password on the
problem account.

To enter Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key a couple times a second
during bootup or a system restart BEFORE Windows starts to load.

with windows vista home premium on. i created an admin account and then
i set a password for the built in administrator... now i've forgotten my
password (not the one. for the built in administrator. that one i still
remember) but when i boot on safe mode i don't see the built in
administrator account... i also have a standard user. Please help. is
there any way i can reset my forgotten password or make the built in
administrator appear? i tried with command prompt but since i don't
remember my password i can't open it as admin. there is another admin on
my computer to but he's abroad and he will be for another month or two
and he hasn't given me his new phone number yet. :(
