admin password

[Guest]

My 6 year old went in under my administrator account on the kids gaming computer (no internet access) and changed the admin password. He apparently set a systemwide password so none of the users can get in without the password. He now can't remember what the password is so the computer is effectively unusable. Any suggestions?
