Very easy. Go to this website and download the ntpasswd program:

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Click on the Bootdisk button and download ntpasswd. You can read all
about it on the site. Basically, you'll make a bootable floppy or cd
(need third-party burning software to make the cd) and boot with it.
Just read the instructions. The easiest thing is to make the new
password a blank. Once you've made the change, log in as Administrator
using the new (blank) password. Go to User Accounts in Control Panel
and set the password the way you want.
