From what i can remember, when this happened to me a few years back, you should be able to boot into safe mode. When you boot into safe mode, type into start menu search bar "netplwiz". click the result and from the you should be able to select the user account and reset password by the button and botom of the window. Please backup your user data first while in safe mode by going to c:\user\[your_user_name} and copying important data out. Windows does warn that it cannot guarantee against data loss during the password reset.

You might be able to remove that password and type a new one instead, by following the steps
here -> Restart your PC, and hold the F8 keyboard button and as You
enter the Windows® Boot Menu 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 should be able to
edit your original account. If this doesn't work then you might need to use a third party program to remove the Password. Worst case you can do a system recovery and take it back to factory default settings by pressing F11 at start up to get to the recovery manager. All of your data will be lost if you do this option.
