I have a problem with my password, I seem to have forgotten it and I cannot log on windows vista, I have tried going on safe mode and realised you cant view administrator on vista (when i thought you could as you can in XP) I have gone on the windows vista disk and went on CMD using the disk, creating another account on the computer, when i try to log on vista, it only comes up with my original account and not the one I just created. I have looked for software to reset your logon password for vista, and I have tried two so far, Absolutely no luck at all, They wouldnt load, they just stayed on the same screen for 1-2 hours until I gave up. Surely there must be a way to reset my password. Any ideas?

*Update* I tried creating a reset disk using vista, It went all smoothly Until I tried to use it, I set the password and an error came up saying "An error occurred while the wizard was attempting to set the password for this user account." So Im wondering if something is wrong with my user account?
