Default Lost my logon password fingernprint logon still working

Hi,
I have been using vista home premium since jan 2008, unfortunately while
playing around i changed my vista password for the only account on my HP
laptop which i dont remember now. the fortunate thing is that i can still
logon using the finger print reader into the only account which is an
administrative account.I would be happy if anyone could suggest me how to
reset my password. i dont have a password restore disk.

Do a full backup of the materials you want to keep.
Reboot the laptop, tapping on the F=11 Key.
Do full restore from the backup partition on your hard disk. The laptop will
be restored to out of box, factory fresh settings.
Of course, any specific settings and programme materials you have installed
will be wiped out. Take the time to actually do a full backup before
initialization of restore procedure.
Then go in and set your administrator account user-name and password again,
this time taking time to either simply writing down the information of
making a backup usb file or backup disk of the information.
Restore operations should take between 30 - 45 min. not including the manual
backup and restore of your personal files and programmes.
