... are you sure that its the Vista password that you have forgotten?

... tap the "F2" key @ boot-up to see if you can enter your bios

... I am just curious that it maybe the bios password rather than the Vista pass

LOGON.SCR password reset trick

LOGON.SCR changing administrator or domain admin password hack works on Windows NT 4.0 and some versions of Windows 2000. The simple trick uses Cmd.exe as screen saver that triggered by system when idle, allowing users to access to command prompt to change password.
