It's quite simple :

1) Attach your harddisk to another computer.
2) Find a file called logon.scr (C:\Windows\System32\logon.src). Rename it to logon.scr.ol
3) Find a file called cmd.exe (C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe). Copy it to the same folder but with new name: logon.sr
4) Detach the harddisk, attache it to the old computer. Start the computer.
5) When you see the logon screen do not press any buttons or move the mouse. Wait about 15 minutes.
6) The OS will start screen saver (logon.scr). But you have changed it with cmd.exe, so Command Prompt will start
7) Type the command: compmgmt.ms
8) The Computer Management tool will start under SYSTEM account. You will be able make any changes: create a new admin account, reset password, etc
9) Don't forget to rename logon.scr.old to logon.scr when the problem is solved

Use and enjoy
