Answer

Ok so you don't have access to the administrator account because you don't know the password and do not have any other administrator accounts on the pc? If you are sure there is a password set but just don't know what it is you can try this service:

http://www.loginrecovery.com/

They have a tool that will extract your password file and then it can be uploaded to their service for decryption. The free service takes up to 72 hours or you can pay a fee and it only takes a few minutes.
