What O.S. does it use? If XP, tap F8 as it is booting up to put it in the Safe Mode. Sign on as an Admin. and go to User accounts. Either create a new account with a new password or try to change the password of the current Admin. acct.
When done, reboot and sign on with the new acc't / password.

well you're screwed. If you insist of password protecting your computer you should select passwords that you'll freaking remember.
