Well, I know two ways you can do this...
1.) If you have not put an administrative password on your BIOS then you can start your computer and after post press F8. That will bring up your OS Menu as I call it. When the Options screen appears start your computer up in Safe Mode and log on to the Administrators Account, There you can change the password. After you have changed the password log off and restart your computer.
2.) Find someone that has a Winternals disk. For on that disk is a tool called locksmith. With this tool you can change any Administrative password on any Windows platform anytime. (Very Dangerous Disk to have!!!)
