I don't know if Vista will let you to access to user accounts/password but I have used this application (older version) in Windows 2000 several years ago with sucess.

It is an .iso file that contains a bootable cdrom could help you to restore passwords from users at your system. Have in mind that in encrypted environments it doesn't work, good luck.

After boot, use command winpass, and follow instructions

Both borris and cocoe 's methods are a little bit complicated.
Mixuer 's method is very straightforward and effective if no other choice.
thank you all
In my memory there was a small program can run directly in windows then show up the admin password. well, let me google it out.
