Ophcrack is one of the easiest ways to actually recover the password. Simply download the ISO and boot the VM using the ISO. For the most part, Ophcrack will take care of the rest. Once booted, it will grab the hashes off the Windows partition and start cracking away. Provided it's relatively simple password, it should crack it handily.
If it's too complex, you could copy the hash and start cracking it using Hashcat or something similar.
You probably don't need to actually recover the original password however. If you don't have any files encrypted using your Windows credentials, you can simply reset the password using a variety of boot CDs. I like to use TRK personally, it's handy CD to keep around.
