I can't really see how you can bypass a password without having to reformat the drive. If you're really short on money download ubuntu or some other form of linux and use it to reformat the computer and then install that as an OS. Ubuntu should have all the functionality of Windows for free, so if you're going to use it as a normal computer it should not be a major change.

When you boot up the computer, when you see the screen with the logo press F8 select safe mode and press enter. log into the administrator account.
