Type: copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe, answer with 'y'. Now your ease of access tools is replaced by command prompt.
Restart your system.
Execute: net user myusername mynewpassword, replacing myusername and mynewpassword. If your username has a space use double-quotes. eg. net user "Gaurav Joseph" balderdash. If you don't remember your username type: net user to list all the users.
Close the command prompt and login.
To revert the Ease of Access tools: copy c:\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe

but you need to prepare an USB drive and working computer for burning password reset disk.

I tried your trick but the system still asks for a password before accessing command prompt. Eventually I found a similar trick but it worked:

I have to cut off the power when my system is running, so I can access startup repair, then bring up the file browser dialog box and replace utilman.exe with cmd. Now I can log back into my admin account. Thanks any way!

You can get a lot of these . 

What my method is use the password reset disk to remove the password from Windows 8 computer ,it can disable password requests when you log in, if you don't have any password reset disk , you can make a one youself .
