Forgot laptop password

I'm trying to logon to a laptop I used to use and can't rremember the password!

Did a Google search which says I need a windows vista disk or borrow someone's. Both I don't have to reset the password.

Don't want to lose my files. Is there another way please?

    LOL. I found answers for wwindows 7 but I gotta look into if it works for windows vista.

    Being pregnant with a bad flu is making it a little difficult to concentrate on a small smartphone screen. :o

    Remove the hard drive, put it in a USB caddy, and connect it to a PC that you do use. Navigate to the files you need, copy/paste them to the new machine
