Ok, I am assuming that you have xp.Boot to safemode.Most computers it's F8 on your keyboard.Turn off the computer then turn it on and keep tapping until you see the safemode screen.Now you can log back into the computer and go to the control pannel and remove the password off your account.Reboot the computer and go back to your account.Or try calling Dell for tech support.

 

in safe mode it will still ask you for admin password......

 

if it is a newer dell system just hold down ctrl and repeatly hit f11 lots of times this will restore your system to factory setup

 

try 'admin' or 'administrator'

that is a common default password for admin accounts.

 

or try you rnormal windows password maybe.

 

if u are using XP refer to my last post!!!! it tells you right there how to change the password with the security hole in XP....refer to my last post...
