there's a bit on the Microsoft site about forgetting passwords I don't know if it'll help but give it a go look here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894902/
the bit you'll be interested in is under How to log on as administrator

Oh dear oh dear.
OK don't panic it might not be difficult.
Reboot your computer and hold down F5 when it is booting and get it to boot into SAFE MODE.
When in safe mode you can usually log on as the administrator (there should be an icon for him along with your usual log ons). The password will probably be admin or administrator or blank.
If not, sorry dude, I don't know. it might be a reformat job.

When you first start the pc when it asks for the pass try these buttons ctrl + alt + delete Twice !!! Only works with blank Administrator password !!!

This may sound daft but have you clicked ok on op screen, maybe try logging on as one of your kids and going to micro-soft we left ours without password on start-up and just have to click ok on user sometimes its so simple but not had mine long so just passing on my thoughts really. you may have to start all over again though my fella has just informed me hes a pessimist though knows what hes talking about he always thinks the worse first.
