you can try pressing ctl-alt-del twice at that screen this should bring up another screen, change user to administrator, if you did not put a password in for the administrator account when you first loaded windows on the PC then you should be able to just hit enter. When you logon as administrator delete your other account password.

Creating a password recovery disk is like closing the barn door after the horses get out, it can't help you after the fact.

Other than what DougL has said, we can't help you any further, please refer to forum rule 9.
