    I don't think so.

    If u don't have the password reset disk, u proably need some tools to retrieve the lost password. the free tool Ophcrack would be your first choice, and u can also try the windows password recovery if u r not so skillful on computer knowledge.

    No. You'll need to make a password reset disk.
