OK in this case you will need to do the following;
If you do not have another account that is admin, download
and create an offline registry editor from
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/nypasswd/
There are 2 ways of creating a media, go to the bottom of
this page and you will see zip files to create either a
set of diskettes or CD. Once you create the, let's say CD,
insert it into your drive and boot off of it, it will look
like the initial start of windows install follow the
instructions choose the defaults mostly except for SCSI
scan "say no to this unless you use SCSI HD's", watch for
the password change option, the sintax for this is
ADMINISTRATOR XXX, the password for admin will be XXX case
sensitive, finish the rest of the MSG's and quit the
program, pull CD out and reboot. When it asks for a
username and password type in administrator and XXX for
the password and you are in.
Good Luck
