I bought a Windows Vista Home Premuim maching in August of 2007. I never set
a password. I just rebooted, and cannot log in because my "password is not
correct."

How can I reset the password? (I never created the password re-set disk,
because I didn't set a password.) Right now I have a boat anchor under my
desk, running Vista that won't let me into my computer.

Thanks for your help.

I am in the same situation. I purchased a Windows Vista Home Basic Version
OEM product and I am being asked for a password that I don't recall creating.

Where is this password coming from? Did installing Vista trigger my OS to
produce this password? Any help is appreciated. I am locked out of using this
computer otherwise.
