I found this on Penn State's site -- first hit when I used Google to search
for your problem (I used the words Leopard password problem Mac OS X).

Does it solve your issue?

I'm not affiliated with Penn State, this site just came up when I used
Google to search for an answer to your post.

Given that most people haven't had this issue, it's hardly "Vista progress".
