You shouldn't need the Admin password to do a Repair/install. Sounds like you're trying to use the Recovery Console. Follow this guide in our Tips and Tricks.

When you use the Recovery Console, the Admin password is not the same as the password for the User with Admin privileges. If no one has set the Admin password, there isn't one. Here's a better explanation.
