I suspect that the vista admin account is disabled, otherwise you should get a choice to login as windows admin.

If there nothing on there that you really wish to keep then you could try a restore - alot of laptops come with a restore CD, pop it in the drive and restart the laptop and the system will rebuild afresh. NOTE: all your data will be erased.

or you could try one of the password hacks available out there.

you'll need a blank floppy disk or blank CD to use these utilities.
