Well, if it's the Windows password, I've used EBCD for years, but it seems the author finally decided to start charging. . . and nothing on whether it works with Vista. So, there's this. I've never tried it, though.

maybe you should quit weed. just sayin'.

If you go to HP's website you can order recovery discs for i think five or 15 dollars.
