Or crack the original one.
LC4/LC5 or jacktheripper could help you there.
Other option.
Leave the account.
Cerate a new one.
Enter a bootdisk
do this in DOS:
net user NEW USER /add
net localgroup administrator NEW /add
Will create a new user called NEW with the password USER.
Should be able to get in then.
