pretty sure this is what I used when I reset windows PWs
if so, it worked perfectly
reset the password of selected account, logged in, made a new password to the account using command prompt, done

Do you mean to change a password? If so you'll need a reset disk.

If you just need to be the administrator all you have to do is run cmd as a administrator.
Type "net user administrator /active:yes" without the quotes
You should see something that said it was successful
Log out and log back in as the admin
When your finished doing what you need to do type "net user administrator /active:no" and log back in as a user.
Hope this can help you.

You must didn't run it as a administrator. Go to the start menu type in cmd in the search and you should see the cmd icon in the menu. Right click it and select "run as administrator". Vista makes you do that for security. Type in the command above with the spaces and you should be good to go.
