I think that I reset my Windows Vista Home Premium password and now I can't remember what it is.
Is there anyway that I can get past this... :?:

So you can't login to your Vista at all?..
I use Emergency Recovery Disk (ERD), it's a stand-alone winXP system booted from ERD's CD. It will try to "mount" you system on HDD then will provide you some useful tools. The "password reset tool" is one of them.
You can reed about password recovery methods here: http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm but the number of links are broken here. And http://mike476.softarchive.net/diagnostics_and_recovery_toolset_dart_v_erd_emerge ncy_recovery_disk_commander.27655.html has a link to ERD's image on rapidshare.
And at last http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/passrecovery.htm.
With Ophcrack, you don't need any access to Windows to be able to recover your lost passwords. Simply visit the site, download the free ISO image, burn it to a CD and boot from the CD. The Ophrack program starts, locates the Windows user accounts, and proceeds to recover (crack) the passwords - all automatically.
I hope something will help you...
