computer to tell it to me?

Computers don't divulge confidential information without
an authorization (password).

Boot up in safe mode. IE press F8 while booting and then choose safe mode.
Then log in as Administrator. Then go to the control panel and change your
password to whatever you want (the one of the user you normally use).

Lost: Believe it or not, reinstalling your operating system is 'relatively'
cheap
and easy. Here are some other ways to approach the situation:

This is call resetting a password, and if the target user acct has EFS
files, they will become unusable unless certain steps have been taken before
the resetting.

This will only work if you didn't set a password for the
administrator account during setup.
