Hi !
I suggest for you to try a Microsoft System Restore by booting up to the Recovery Manager
Restore to the last time when it was still working.
If this does not resolve it you can try to activate the hidden admin of windows
and log-in to that hidden admin. You can then try to remove or change your password.
If any of this does not work, I'm sorry to tell but a System Recovery is the last resort.

Hi,
Try a utility such as the one on the link below to see if you can reset the Administrator account password.

Option 1. Reinstall the system(if you didn't have any important datas)
Optioon 2. Reset the admin password with password recovery tool.(recommend:Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0)
Step 1. Install the program on another computer and create a password recovery disk with USB
Step 2. Insert the disk to your laptop and set your laptop to boot from it.
Step 3. All user accounts will be loaded, then you can reset any user password.
