Administrator password recovery - HELP!

I am running Vista on a new Compaq Presario desktop computer that was good for me a little less than a year before. I recently changed my password the only admin account (I have the privacy of my teenage years on some things) on the computer, and now I don't remember what it is! I do not write it down because my kids have found in the past and I don't have a password recovery disk (I didn't know that there was such a thing). Is there a way I can get into my office without it, or find, or something that does not require of losing me all my games and images?

    Use a third-party program to attempt to reset / recover password

    HP, like most other companies, do not support the use of third-party applications, but they do exist. If you cannot use one of the options mentioned previous then this is may be the option you want to try.

    Removal and recovery of password programs exist and can be found on the internet through various searches on google.

    One of these programs can be found here http://www.pcloginnow.com/ with instructions on how to use it here http://www.pcloginnow.com/guide.html

    Remember that HP mentioned earlier does not support the use of third-party software to retrieve lost passwords, and then you use this tool or any other tool at your own risk.

    Hope this helps you recover your lost password, or you read and warning and make a recovery for you disk protect.

    Any help would be great.
