Providing that the "Hidden Adminstator Account" is enabled, you can simply start-up your computer in "Safe Mode" and access the Administrator Account. By default the Administrator Account should not have a password assigned, though if a password has been assigned you should contact either your Network Administrator or the store you bought your computer from. There are other methods by using BIOS; though using BIOS is too advanced and I recommend you don't attempt to reset your password manually through BIOS. You should call a Windows Certified Technician if you are unable to contact the store you purchased from or the network administrator.

You can not as the password (in text form) is not stored on the system that you use it on. All you can hope to do (if the system will allow it) is to reset the password. If this is not possible then you are permanently locked out - it is hard I know but next time use a password that you will not forget!.

Look for a link prompting you to reset or recover the forgotten password.

Check your email to either see your recovered password or to find the link to reset your password.
