If you have a user with admin rights, you can go and reset your administrator password from within the Control Panel > Users and Accounts applet. If you dont have a way to do it, then hopefully you remembered to create a forgotten password disk. http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_admini...r_password.htm is a good resource that you can consult.
