I'd reinstall the OS, but of course that means you lose all your information.

but i'd phone sony first to see if they have any ideas (i doubt it , but its worth a shot)

I don't know if it will work for yours, but you can restart it, and while the windows emblem is loading, hit either f8 or f12, I think... Can't quite remember.

But that will take you into a setup mode, where you might be able to turn off the password protection.

This is all just maybes. I would actually have to pull out my computer and try it and look through all of the different options to be sure.

there's other ways such as password cracking software.
and if you create a different partition, you can use some trick to reset the admin password on the other partitions.

don't know much about these methods though.

If your OS is Vista I dont think that you will be able to recover your system.... You may by installing another operating system on another partition , recover your data.
