Reboot your computer. Before the windows logo appears, press f8 until a service menu pops up. One of the options should be "safe mode". Enter it. Log in as "Administrator". Hopefully there will be no password, or you at least remember the password from there. Go into Control Panel, access User Accounts, and change the password of the account you forgot to something you'll remember. And make sure you don't forget your "Administrator" password, if you set one. The only way to fix this is to reinstall windows. This is just tedious, but there's a way to do it without formatting your harddrive, so don't worry too much.

OOPs! Try Safe Mode, and then get into your BIOS Setup Utility if that doesn't work, and change the password option.
