I take it you have forgotten it? Do you have a password reset disk? or do you have another admin account to reset it from there?

If not you will need a third party program

If you're not using a Microsoft account, but just a local account:

Same here - nice and fast since it's such a small utility. Takes longer to boot than it does to actually clear the password .
