windows login password lost

My friend has forgotten his password to logon to windows vista home premium,
and he never used a disk to reset the password. Is there anyway he can bypass
the account to reset the password or can he reboot the whole system from
scratch. He's totally usless without his laptop.
Thanks for your help

You can have someone burn a copy, and your friend can boot off of it and
reset the password for a given account, as there is a utility to do that.

You should make sure you get the Vista version.

If you forget the administrator’s password but still can log on Windows with other user names that have administrative privileges, you may follow the instructions below:

Right click the computer icon on your desktop, select Manage, find Local Users and Groups, unfold Users folder, right click Administrator, click Set password… in the menu comes up. Click Proceed in the dialog, in the pop-up, enter a New Password and confirm it. Your administrator’s password is successfully reset.

Guest account may help to log onto Windows, but it has no privilege for you to do the above to reset the administrator’s password.

If you forgot all user passwords and failed to log onto Windows, there is no other way but to format the OS and reinstall Windows, or resort to sort of software tools to remove the password and log onto Windows. These programs cost some bucks, but are worthy and better than to reinstall the OS causing consequences. The most popular programs are Windows Password Reset 6.0 etc. Generally, these programs are easy to use though turn out to be a scary command prompt to newbie. But do relax and you can fully manipulate. Let’s take Windows Password Reset 6.0 for example. You prepare a blank CD, burn the program onto the CD, boot the locked computer from the CD, come to initiate the program, locate the user name, and proceed to remove its password – all are at ease.

Last month , i lost my windows administrator password. Eventually , I solved my problem with the

help of windows password key. 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. You
