This is where the reserve, emergency account *called* Administrator
comes in. Boot, hitting F8 as BIOS info goes to black; take Safe Mode,
There will then be an icon for Administrator on the Welcome screen. (If
not, hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice and enter the explicit name
Administrator
and leave the password blank)

In that, Start - Run the line
control userpasswords2
where you can select any account name and Reset Password
