    Is it a windows user logon password or BIOS password?

    You can create another account with admin privileges then in that account, change the password of the other account. You have to do this in safe mode. An Administrator account should be listed. I know this is the case for XP but I am not sure if it is for Windows 7. Edit: It is not enabled by default so if you only have one account on the computer you will need to use PC login

    Edit: If the above does not work use PC Login Free
