i have lost my password and do not have a reset disk. what can i do?

If you've forgotten your Windows password and you're on a domain, you should contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you're not on a domain, you can reset your password by using a password reset disk or by using an administrator account. For more information, see Create a password reset disk or Reset 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.

Hi JoanneCotton – Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community.

I suggest you download my PDF.

Once you manage to reset the password and recovery that account, 
I suggest you make yourself a Password Reset Disk, follow these steps:

How do I: Create a password reset disk?
1. Click Start Menu and choose Control Panel. 
2. Select User Accounts and Family Safety.
3. Select User Accounts. 
4. From the left-side panel click Create a password reset disk.

Note: If NO USB-stick is connected an error message will appear.
“No Drive: This feature requires removable media, such as a floppy disk 
 or USB flash drive. Please insert a floppy disk or connect a USB flash drive,
 and then try again”.  

5. Forgotten Password Wizard will start.
6. Click Next. 
7. Choose a drive to store the password key file on.
8. Click Next. 
9. Enter the current user account password and click Next. 
10. The password will be stored on the disk and a progress 
      will be reporting the current status. ClickNext.
11. Click Finish. 
12. That’s it.
