When your computer first starts up and you see the logo hit the F8 key. It will bring you to a menu where you use the arrow keys to select safe mode. Your computer will go to the normal log-in page, but you will see a the administrator user and you log-in as the administrator. Then you open the start menu and click on control panel. You find the icon that says user accounts and click on it. It will open and then you click on the user you forgot the password to. It will open and you will get choices of what you can do. Click on change password, then follow the directions. You can then shut down your computer and at the logo hit F8 again. Then select start windows normally and then enter your password you had changed it to. As far as I know this only works for windows xp computers, but it might work for other computers as well.
