Using the Third part utility---Windows Password Unlocker is highly recommended
1.Download Windows Password Unlocker from Password Unlocker Official site
2.Decompress the Windows password unlocker and note that there is an .ISO image file. Burn the image file onto an blank CD with the burner freely supported by Password Unlocker.
3.Insert the newly created CD into the locked computer and re-boot it from the CD drive.
4.After launched the CD, a window pop up with all your account names(if you have several accounts); select one of the accounts that you have forgotten its password to reset it. Just one press, you have removed the password.

Step 1Turn your computer off and restart your computer in safe mode. You can do this by pressing F10 as you are turning your computer on.
Step 2Log on to Windows using an account different from the one with the administrator password that you cannot remember.
Step 3Click "Start" in the lower-left corner of your desktop and and click "Run."
Step 4Type "controluserpasswords2" into the open text box and click "OK" or press "Enter."
Step 5Click the tab for your administrator account in the pop-up menu and click "Reset Password."
Step 6Enter a new password and enter it a second time into the "Confirm" box. Select "OK" and your password will be reset

You could try the link below. That is if you have not made a recovery disc which you could use to reset the password normally in vista.
