You might try to reset the local Administrator password
with one of the methods mentioned here:

Hi Togier, thanks for the help. However, I couldn't use
it. Because now I have logged into my machine as a user
with no admin rights, since its not letting me to install
any software. Please help.

Thanks

Hi

You then need to create a bootdisk or a bootable CD from
the links in that post on another computer.
