Okay, first it is a matter of whether you're speaking about a bios password or login password. Reformatting a password protected computer is simple. You just need the Windows CD that came with your computer.
If you bought the computer from a friend, or any other source aside from the store, then you would have to go out and purchase a Windows CD, or make a bootable floppy for an older version of windows.
Now here's the tricky part. Turn on the computer and if you are prompted for a password right away, then you will have to reset your bios. On a Dell computer all you have to do is open it up, and you'll notice jumpers on the motherboard similar to the ones on the back of your HHD. Remove the jumpers on the motherboard (which are likely located near your bios chip) and turn the computer on for a few moments. Now turn the computer off and put the jumpers back where they were and turn the computer back on. The bios is now reset.
Now if it were a login password, a few steps can be taken. You can either change your boot sequence, hack your own system and change administration authority and then delete or change the password. Or you can just as easily use particular programs that do all the work for you.
For the sake of simplicity, we will stick to the first process. First, turn on your computer and depending on whether its Dell or HP or so forth, access your setup or boot sequence page by pressing F12, F2, or what ever hot-key it says to press right after turning on the computer. Once in setup, change the boot priority to CD-ROM being first. Now save and exit. Turn off the computer, insert CD, and follow the Windows instructions.

How does a computer user log into their computer?
well there are many different ways a person can log into their computer depending on operating system. in a windows environment you would have to enter the user name and password or just password if it is password protected. on mac osx just the password and in a Linux environment it would be similar to windows. im guessing you cannot log into your machine because it is password protected and you either forgot your password or someone made one for you without telling. in either of those cases...... i would really need more information than your basic question
