Login trouble

[Simmons28]

I'm trying to access my old computer, but i've forgotten my password, I never make a recovery disc and the account im locked out of is the admin account. My other problem is that i also disabled the guest account, so i have no way of logging on. I understand i can reset the PC, but im trying to avoid that so i can keep my files.

Resetting the PC is probably NOT going to work because the HP Recovery function will ask you for the password.

I am helping a 78  year old man.  He gave the laptop to a friend to load some new software..... in doing so he had to secure it with a login password.    And he can't remember the password.  I have the data backed up...  So I go through the F11........  and I do not get the options list ...... all i get is

"RESET THIS PC"
