Is it boot up password or login password?

Boot up password: System which ask before starting the windows. It will
prompt only for password (It will not ask user name). You can remove the
CMOS battery and fix once again. Please refer the system user manual for
this procedure. Note: Along with the password it will also forget system
date and time setting and other BIOS setting ( If you change them from
Default setting )

Login Password:
Password which prompts after launching the windows, it will prompt along
with the user name.

Please reply me with details when exactly you getting this prompt

windows login password

Microsoft policy is that it will not support in breaking the windows
password

If u has any other user account (with the administrative privilege you can
reset the password)
But if you have only one account then there is no solution

But you can access the data on hard disk by installing another copy of
windows on it (with out formatting) or connecting this hard disk to other
system
