it is really a hard one. before there is an application to retrieve the password but i think it is for microsoft applications like MS Office. forgot the name of the application. i'll dig deep into my archives if i still have it but don't know if it will work on the logon screen for windows.
 
For a non domain computer, you should be able to look for a password recover cd. It won't determine your existing password, but it will allow you to boot off of the cd, and reset your password to something else (or clear it). Then, once you login to windows normally, you can set it to what you want.
