See my post. I edited.
Isn't YOUR fault you forgot the password. What would be the point in having a password if it can easily be bypassed?

try logging on with the username "admin" or "administrator" and hope you never thought put a password on the administrator account.

"forgot" huh? So basically you're looking for help to break into someone else's computer that you happen to have physical access to?

When I booted Vista Home Premium into safe mode on my laptop, it presented me with the same login screen as normal mode. It did not allow me to type a username, and only showed the one user account that we set up when installing the system. It did not give the option of logging in as the built-in "Administrator" account, even in safe mode.
