Forgot Vista password? Not fear too much as you may find effective shortcuts to get it back. I will lead you through the steps of password recovery if you have forgotten or lost your Vista password on your machine.

Before we figure out ways to get the lost password back, first you’d better ask yourself some questions like:

Are you sure you can’t remember and you forgot the password completely? Have you thought of every combination which would probably be your Vista password such as specific date, names, places etc.?
Still can’t remember after a series of guessing and recalling? Okay, nothing serious, please don’t feel uneasy or panic. Go on ask yourself…
Is the inaccessible user account an administrator account or a standard user on your computer? If it is a standard user, you can easily get back its forgotten password with other inaccessible administrator account. If it is an administrator account which you are not able to access into now, as long as one of the other available users on your computer is with administrative privileges, you can use this login to help you reset the forgotten password easily from Control Panel.
If the locked user account is the single user on your computer or if you failed to reset your forgotten user password from other available user accounts, then you are truly in a pickle.
