Password problem

M

Monty

I have a problem getting into my home system's administrative user login.
Ages ago I downloaded and installed Tweak UI and let it apply my user login
for this administrative account.
Last night, for some unknown stupid ass reason, I added a "55" to this 5
digit password. Now this morning, I get this error indicating that of
course it is wrong. Since I used Tweak to do this, some 4 years ago, I have
no clue what the original password is. It is of course 5 digits with the
last 2 digits a "55". The only way to access anything on my harddrive is to
go in as my son, (without admin privileges).
I guess I'll live, but do miss a lot of apps (home checking, etc) from my
"My Documents".

Any help or ideas?
I tried "Jumping back in time" with the system restore, but of course you
have to have admin status for this.

Ughhhh!
