I own a Windows Vista Home Premium laptop. I have not used my laptop for more than a year and do not remember my password despite the hint. However, I have not created a reset disk and would not know how I could do it now.
Maybe someone can help me and tell me how to get back into my laptop without having to delete all the data?
The problem is I do not have a floppy disk and no USB flash drive.

Professionally, I help people to either completely delete the forgotten password or crack the devices using appropriate tools. Earn with it my play dough and the preliminary way I do not tell. Would live with me around the corner that would be a matter of only a maximum of 10-30 min. Without reinstalling you can't get around it. Either you try to recover your password somewhere or you have to reinstall everything on the box. It's your decision.
Since the partitions are not encrypted, you can also create a boot medium via Linux using a USB stick and thus access your Latop to save your data.

Under Downloads -> Documentation -> German finds everything important.
I do not believe that resetting the password will erase the data. Of course, I do not do it.
You do not necessarily need to start the Laptio under Vista. Does he have a USB port? Then create a bootable stick, start with Win 10 or Ubuntu and access the old data on the hard disk.
You are probably locked out (I'm sure I'm not there) only from your system, but not from the data. However, if the password were also an encryption, then land could be under. What's your hint? Maybe someone here comes up with something you can think of.
"really safe" is supposedly just a bios password.
A) take your laptop to a specialist workshop. This is cheaper and more effective than self-help.
b) Climb over to Windows 10: if you have important data - hopefully you have a backup and write down exactly what for private programs and their passwords and other. You can best do that in a specialist workshop; which can probably save the data on your hard drive (icy box), I would invest in an old laptop nothing more; It is not worth. Ricardo
