Find the person who did it and force the password out of them.
OR
Take it to a tech store, and get an expert to fix the problem.

Nice one all you need to do is try to force the guy who did that or try the following
go to the laptop tech try to tell them the problem if it is not fixed then go to the board of the system remove all the jumper on the board and on the hard disk and fix it again

Try Google
Or you could use
For NTFS drives: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
For Fat32 drives your best bet is to grab a Live Linux CD iso off the net and use it to recover the info from the drive then just reformat.
Try Slax, Mepis, Knoppix, or Ubuntu.
You will need to know how to download and burn an ISO (.iso)
good luck
