Isn't there also a built in way to bypass the password. I know there is for XP as I have had to use it before however not sure about Vista

the only built in thing for vista is an option to make a cd in case of an event you forget your password..
there is other ways to recover a password but Dave Hybrid recommended is one of the easy options burn it with magic iso ( magic iso is free to download a google search will bring it up) burn at a low speed like 10x

I'm not sure if Vista has a safe mode like that? I have never tried it but I've never seen that option...Maybe my vista is really messed.
