I have windows 7 home premium on my pc. I closed my pc down last night, reopened it this morning and it wont accept the password. I double checked it, double checked my hubby hadn't changed it and forgot to write it in the password book.

 

I restarted the pc and tried again, then I did a full shut down and the started it..............nothing worked.

 

It just says if I want to reset the password I need to insert a reset disk, of course I found out I don't have one.........................what do I do?

You need to enable the hidden Administrator account, login as it then fix or remove the password for your normal account, see here:
 
If you need to use the hidden Administrator account in Vista or Windows 7 but have not enabled it and you don't have a working Administrator level account available, see below.

See this Tutorial by Dinesh: User Account Password - Change from WinRE System Repair Disc.

I've done this many times and it works well. Just remember to put things back as they were when done.
