forgot windows vista home premium password

Hi

Requesting for assistance on retrieving password to Windows Vista Home Premium. Not able to switch to administrator account. Appreciate the guidance as it is work-From-Home (WFH) period, thank you.

"What to do if you forget your Windows password"

"If you forget the administrator password and don't have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you won't be able to reset the password. If there are no other user accounts on the computer, you won't be able to log on to Windows and will need to re-install Windows."
