Vista password problems

I've not used my laptop in about 3 months, but I was trying to use it today to restore my phone. I'm pretty sure I kept the same password and haven't changed it.

I've tried every single password but it won't work. I have tried pressing F8 and going into safe mode, when I go into safe mode it doesn't come up with the administrator account it just comes up as normal and doesn't let me log in with my password.

    Ensure you're typing the password correctly, paying attention to case sensitivity, Num Lock, and keyboard layout.Try logging in with any other user accounts if available. If you saved your password somewhere (like a password manager or written down), verify it.
