Password Reset Disk without a Windows Computer

Hi all,

I have an old laptop running Windows Vista that I am trying to get back into, but I don’t know the password. I have a USB and saw online that people are using disks to reboot and bypass the password. I do not have another Windows computer available to me.

I have tried to login with safe mode, but it brings me right to the login screen where I need to enter a password. There is only one available user to try to log in as.

Is it possible for me to get back into the computer using a USB, and either a Macbook or Chromebook?
