Is there a bug on windows vista that allows me to bypass the password screen?

This little idiot took my computer and changed the password and now he won't tell me it so I'm basically scrued. Someone please help me.

Vista is designed so this does not happen.
You might be able to boot up in Linux and crack the password.
Other than that there is no way sorry.

They may work.

Comment#1 - booting in safe mode and logging in as admin will not work for Vista.

PS: Removing and replacing the BIOS chip will not work either.
