    Wednesday night I can home a bit drunk from a night out. Anyways my housemate knew my laptop password and had been taking it without permission latley. So Wednesday night when I got home I got a notion to change my password. Now for the life of me I cant remember what I changed the new password too!! Its a Window vista. Any idea how I can reset the password?

    if you still have an admin account you can use it to reset the password

    reboot into safe mode and logon as administrator with blank password

    otherwise use the nt password reset disk to blank the password
