I forgot my vista password

[bX510]

well, I didn't really forget the password. Just some jerk decided to play a prank and put a password on my laptop. Does anyone know how to by pass it? I know it was possible in XP, but I am not sure about vista

You'll likely need a third party application to help you here, the only one I've personally used is Elcomsoft System Recovery. I was able to find several others with a Google search, though, so you might want to look for a functional trial or some freeware. To prevent this from happening again, though, follow the How to Create a Windows Vista Password Reset Disk tutorial.
