Wait until it boots into safe mode then log in as administrator
go into control panel, select your user and choose to get rid of your password

That will work only in case if nanasei want to reset user password, will not work if the passwrd is admin. For that you need password recovery tools( I can't recomend any as I never had this kind of problem)
