just get OPH crack, google it. It reveals the password, even better.

I downloaded the software, created the password reset disk and used it on my locked PC in order to unlock it. I regained access in less than 5 minutes by completely removing the forgotten Administrator password. It is good that this software can remove both user and admin passwords.

You can get the software from resetpasswordwindows website .
