According to this MS KB article, if you don't have the password, it's nuke and pave time.

Is he the only user for the computer and is his username the an administrator account. If it is you can open up the users and passwords applet in the control panel and there should be and option that says users must enter a username and password (or something along those lines) with a checkbox next to it. I am pretty sure if you uncheck that he won't have to enter a username or password anymore.
