How To Reset Vista Password..
Well, my carlessness has gotten me in a jam again. I have Vista Home Premium laptop, and forgot the password. I cannot find the reset disk (was there one?) anywhere. I need a program, or a simple solution to this.

P.S I dont have any blank CD's or a USB stick (sorry, I lend these out to often to my brother at college..)

Help would be most appreciated.

So what was your "hint" when you set the password? You should remember it from that
