Is it the Administrator account password, or a user account password (either a normal or administrator user), or both? It makes a difference. Right now I will presume it is a user account and not the built-in Administrator account. If this is the case, just reboot, and when windows is about to load press the F8 key and select Safe Boot. You then sign in (unless you changed the password on the built in admin account it does not have a password by default) with the administrators account. Right click on you My Computer, select Manage. When that comes up select Users under the local users and groups. Then select the appropriate user (right click) and select set password. WARNING, if the user account had made use of the encrypting file system changing the password will make all that users data lost forever (well at least not without a very great deal of work and effort).
