Unless you have encrypted files, the default "Administrator" account can
change the password for any account. Boot to Safe Mode (F8 on restart,
during 'black screen' after the BIOS screen) the User Accounts app in
Control Panel lets you 'manage other accounts'.

To reset Windows Vista password, there are several methods:
1. Login safe mode Mentioned above.
2. Use Vista password reset disk or repair CD, it is free!
3. Use a password recovery tool if you have no reset disk.
You can try Ophcrack or Windows Password Rescuer. They require booting from CD or USB flash drive.
