Unless you made a password reset disk, which I'm guessing you did not as you would not be asking here, there is no way to reset the password with Windows.

In addition, since we have no way of verifying ownership, we are not allowed to provide you any details about bypassing the current password.

IF you Google for this, you will find information on downloading images you can make to reboot the PC -- but you're on your own on that.
