    Hi, can you boot up in safemode (f8 at boot) if so enter the hidden admin acc and delete the password from the users acc, if this is not an option then go here.....

    download an create a bootable disc with the .iso with this software...

    once you have created the disc place it into the cd/dvd draw and reboot the machine, at post hit any key to boot from disc follow the prompts and this will remove ALL windows passwords.
