BTQ,

This is a very sensitive subject for which it has a very firm answer. 

Password recovery is performed only if 

1. You are the sole original owner of the PC

2. You have the original purchase documentation , for example a sales reciept is required which bares the serial number of the product.

There are other security requirements in order to get your situation taken care of.

Please note that no manufacturers warranty can cover you in the event that you lock yourself out.

If you have locked yourself out of Windows, its possible to delete the password files for your user account and start over, but due to the legal reasons surrounding this issue, it prevents me from discussing such methods.
