There's a programme you can download (at a price) that'll unlock your password for you. You'll need to download on another pc and save it to disc. I'll have a look and see if I can find a link.

Is this the machine password or the operating password?

There are various free downloads on this site - but I'm not sure how reliable they are

I have used this one in the past and it worked fine without causing any other problems

Try reasearching and using the Net User command or if your to lazy but more trustful use the batch job below. Just Copy/Paste into notepad and save as a .bat.

ECHO OFF
COLOR 0A
TITLE PASSWORD CHANGER
CHDIR\
:A
SET /p N=Account name:
SET /p M=New password:
ECHO This is completely irreversible.
ECHO Are you sure you wish to continue? [Yes/No]
SET /p A=
IF /I A == YES GOTO B
IF /I A == NO EXIT
ECHO ERROR
PAUSE
EXIT
:B
NET USER
ECHO Done.
PAUSE
ECHO Do you want to change another password? [Yes/No]
SET /p B=
IF /I== YES GOTO A
IF /I== NO EXIT
ECHO ERROR
PAUSE
EXIT
