Get yourself a copy of Knoppix and boot off the CD once you have the system running go into the Admin area and delete any passwords just set them to a blank space and then reboot the computer and remove the copy of Knoppix and you should be OK from ythere as far as the passwords go. The Domain Account will be different but as this is a NB it's most likely mobile so it should still work as it should be configred to run while not connected to the Domain.

Login locally and rejoin the domain, if can't login locally because of password, search or download Winternals admin CD boot up with that CD and choose the change password option.

My roommate had forgotten her Administrator password BLAH,BLAH,BLAH...

I was able to recover it with OphCrack. It's a live CD from SourceForge it took all of a few minutes without deleting anything or modifying the system.
