you can do what the first person said, or:

-Start
-Run
-type: cmd
-type: net users
-type: net user <username with password> * (with the star)
-it will then ask u to put a new pass for the user

mikeh0303- that doesn't help him because he doesn't know the pass, but do you know how to start the command prompt at the start screen, what are the hot keys for it?

no when he starts in safe mode there will be a new account (administrator) that should have no password so he can just click it.

There is no defult shortkey for cmd, but you can set one, go to: start, accesories, right click command prompt, properties, make a shotkey
