By "your admin account" do you mean the regular account you use eveyday ("Joe" for
insance) that is an admin account, or do you mean the built-in Windows admin account
that's sort of "hidden"? Hopefully it's the former that some clown passworded. If
so, just boot into safe mode and the built-in admin account will appear. If no password
was ever applied to THAT account, just go to Control Panel>User Accounts from there,
click on the "Joe" account and remove the password. While you're still in safe mode,
password the built-in account with someting you're sure you'll never forget. Then
reboot and add a new password to "Joe". Most people forget to password this built-in
account and falsely assume their computer is protected, not knowing that anyone who
boots it into safe mode will have full access to wreak all kinds of havoc.
