You could probably kill disk it. That'll wipe everything off including the password.

@Jesse
Killdisk will wipe the entire hard drive. He just wants to get into the admin account. This is a huge security loophole and I'm not sure why anyone would provide this person with a link to that.

This is also why you disable the ability to boot from CD/DVD in the BIOS and lock the BIOS down with a password.
