(be sure to include asterisk).
The password has now been reset.
Hit “Enter”. This will now display accounts listed on your computer. Such as- admin, guest, etc.
You will now be prompted for a password. Choose a simple password that will be easy for you to remember. You will be asked to retype it. After which you should see a message saying –
"Command successful"

If access to the Start menu on the PC or laptop that you are trying to reset password for is not available, restart the computer and, as it’s booting, repeatedly press F8.
Click on the Safemode command prompt and proceed to follow the aforementioned instructions.

I don't think so but am not 100% sure...I don't think Vista was set up the same way as XP was regarding accessing admin passwords...don't quote me on that though...Maybe Dogg will be able to answer this when he gets a free moment.
