So my mom bought me a $280 dollar lego robot, but since on my computer she's the administrator I can't do anything with it, why?  Because she forgot her password :l so now I've spent around 3 hours trying to find out how to get an administrative account back or get her password and I'm about to throw my computer and a few other things.  Please, please don't suggest trying to find out the password, we already did.  If anypony knows how to reset the password or make another administrator account please help, and by the way I'm on windows 7.

Restart your PC,
and hold the F8 keyboard button and as You enter the Windows Boot Menu
Just before the Windows 7 splash screen shown above appears, it should enter Advanced Boot Options.
you will see some different choices, choose Safe Mode with Networking.
Now Windows will start in Safe Mode. Select the default Administrator account
from the login, the password can be blank. If you are lucky and passed the login,
then you're able to edit the original account.

You've just been McSleuthburgered!

The first tip requires you to at least have an official Windows 7 disc or a recovery CD just make sure you don't put in the manufacturer disc as those often are only capable of formatting PC's and you don't want that.
