    Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The only way to reset your windows password 100% safe is to use a software called Reset Password Pro.

    The software allows you to create a boot-disk, that can be made on a CD/DVD or USB stick. The boot-disk can then be inserted into any locked machine, and it's a simple case of pressing reset. Here is their official site: http://www.resetwindowspass.com/

    u can reboot into safe mode by pressing F8. Maybe ur default admin user profile had no password so that u can enter into control panel. Go to users and choose the user profile that you cant remember the password. Change the password for the user and restart the computer entering the new user password.
