use my laptop.

Does this password request appear before Vista starts? If this is the case
you need to find out from the manufacturer how to change the BIOS password -
the methods vary from make to make.

It sounds more like the password to access the OP's Windows account
has been changed (if we're not dealing with helping someone with a
stolen computer here)..

If the BIOS password has been set, then this might help:
