I did not have my computer with me where i was residing
for a few months, I had just installed my password before
this happened and now that I have my computer back I seem
to not be able to remember the password that I entered. I
have tried brainstorming and writing down more than
several possible passwords but none of them match. I,
however did have a password hint but it is so vague that
it is not really a help to me for remembering my password.
Is there anything that I can do so that I can gain access
into my computer.

Or
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the user and change the password.
