Hello. More than likely, you're going to end up needing to
reformat. If you created a password reset disk (which I assume
you haven't), you could easily reset your password. There are
tools you can download that claim to be able to hack your
password, such as Offline NT Password and Registry Editor, but
they aren't very easy to use, and you will probably need sighted
assistance. With some sighted help, I tried using this tool
once, but was not successful.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Locked out of Windows and can't get
in,any helpers please?
Hello friends, I urgently need your help please.
as you all may be aware I posted previusly a problem concerning
IE or any browser won't let me change my homepage from AVG
security search. I was told that it probably had to do with
some kind of settings in parental control and I went in there to
see if I could figure out what to do. Whilst in there, I was
prompted by Windows to set a password, less programs or persons
could have acces and pose some kind of a security risk which I
did and confirmed it in the box that followed. I created a
really simple password which I am sure to remember and when I
rebooted the machine I am locked out of Windows. I hear the
startup sound but gets the prompt to enter my password and it
never worked. So one problem lead me int another.
Do you have any idea as to how I can reset this or would I have
to do the dreaded reformat?
