If you can remember your administrator password then you can reset your password through that option. Otherwise you will need the help of software of which there is a myriad of available on the net. Most require purchase but there may be some that are free. I would suggest carrying out a search of the net using a friends computer. Computer shops can normally remove passwords but again at cost. I have this software for my work but cannot advise for legal protocols.
Otherwise rebuild, but as a last resort if you do not have you data backed up.
