Sure,

right after you power on the computer start tapping "F8" about once a second...

Now you get a prompt, select "SafeMode"...

It will boot, but this time you will see a hidden account called "Administrator" above the account that you don't have the password for , click on this "Administrator" account.

Now go to control panel and you can just delete or change the password for the other account.  

Bam!!  You're a hacker!!


Oops, wrong OS... Sorry :-(
