Password lock out - please help!

I recently bought a new Sony Vaio laptop running Vista Home Premium, I used
the Easy Transfer to move across from my old XP PC & now I cannot log into
the laptop. Before transferring I had set up a password on the laptop, then
after I used the Easy Transfer it was still asking for a password however it
will not accept the password I set up on the laptop & there was never any
password set up on the XP PC. So now I have a laptop I can't even get into.
Please help!

i recently bought a laptop and installed the windows vista operating system
and created the user account and also the password.But now when iam opening
the laptop and entering my password it is showing you have to buy and install
the software and it is not allowing me to get into the use account. please

Hi Vickie and Ubaid,

This will show you how to reset the password so that you can gain
access again. You will probably have to use Method Three in your case.

'Reset User Account Password'

Hope this helps you,
Shawn

you may need to reinstall the OS on the Vista, other wise use the password
that you prevesouly used on the xp machine. And make sure you are putting
the password in correctly.
