Did not reboot machine for longtime (for 10 months), due to some power
problem, we rebooted the machine, now we didn't record the password,
couldnot able to login, but lot of important files and lot of stuff on
that machine, how can we login?, any back door?. or any other way to
login and create another user id?. Thanks in advance.

A small amount of forward planning would make your
PC operation a lot more robust:

- I'm sure you have at least two sets of keys for your car,
for obvious reasons. The same goes for your PC - create
a second admin account and lock its password away.

- The iron rule of computing says that all important files
must be backed up regularly to an independent medium.
A 2.5" hard disk in an external USB enclosure is a low-cost
but very effective backup medium.

About your password: The boot disk from this link lets
you reset it. It's scary stuff but it works.
