if anyone knows how to override the admin account or password, i would

help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

At this point you have no idea what the hacker did. There could be rootkits,
trojans lying in wait, anything. Backup your data and format the hard drive.
Also figure out what you are doing wrong that allows someone to hack into
you computer before it happens again.
