Download a program called ophcrack, its free and legal.

You need the livecd, just pop that into ur cd drive and it should find ur vista password.

so i download it and burn it to a CD or DVD and pop the disc in teh CD/DVD reader and run the program from there?

easiest option is to either take it to a computer tech and get them to remove the password or download the Hiren's Boot CD and run the password removal tool off that
