You could try
Reboot PC
Press F8 before windows starts
Start In Safe Mode
Login as Administrator
Goto Control Panel - Users
as long as you are on a limited account you should be able to remove the password.
Restart PC and the Passoword should be cleared

Turn on your computer and some how get to start up options - u do this by like clicking F12 or F10 depends on what it tells you when the manufacturer logo appears.
Select start up in "Safe Mode"
When the computer loads up in safe mode, you will see that there is a new user account called "Administrator". This will have no password but has limited features designed to fix problems.
Under safe mode administrator, go to Start >>> Control Panel>>> user accounts>>> and go to your account and REMOVE PASSWORD.
Then all you do is restart normally, log on to your account w/no password, and make a new one!!!

You need to see a doctor. Memory loss is a sign of a serious medical problem.

If you encrypted the folder (cannot access it via c:\documents and settings\your user name... a folder in there). That's a whole different question.
