Lost my logon password fingernprint logon still working

Hi,
I have been using vista home premium since jan 2008, unfortunately while
playing around i changed my vista password for the only account on my HP
laptop which i dont remember now. the fortunate thing is that i can still
logon using the finger print reader into the only account which is an
administrative account.I would be happy if anyone could suggest me how to
reset my password. i dont have a password restore disk.

Do a full backup of the materials you want to keep.
Reboot the laptop, tapping on the F=11 Key.
Do full restore from the backup partition on your hard disk. The laptop will
be restored to out of box, factory fresh settings.
Of course, any specific settings and programme materials you have installed
will be wiped out. Take the time to actually do a full backup before
initialization of restore procedure.
Then go in and set your administrator account user-name and password again,
this time taking time to either simply writing down the information of
making a backup usb file or backup disk of the information.
Restore operations should take between 30 - 45 min. not including the manual
backup and restore of your personal files and programmes.

There is much easier way than doing a full restore as "Art" suggested

Log in to your primary account using your finger print
Create a NEW ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT (control panel>User accounts
Log out of your primary account (the one you used your finger print t
log in to
Log in to the NEW ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT that you just mad
Get back to the User Accounts scree
Select the account you want to remove the password for, and then clic
remove password

Next time you log on, you won't have a password. You can add one afte
logging on either in the User Accounts screen, or by ctrl+alt+delete an
then clicking change password

Good luc

I have downloaded windows password key 8.0. It is a very quick and useful utility for resetting passwords. It not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password.
Just an easy to use bootable CD/DVD . It can also be used on a USB Flash Drive.
