Hi
1)if you have another account with Domain Admin rights, change the password for Admin.
2) Failing that, I suggest you get a password sniffing tool, and it will sniff out all accounts and password from the SAM database, what the names of the tools are, I forget, I suggest you do a search on the internet, I know they are there.

hope it helps.

If neither of the options in Answer 1 work, your only other choice, unfortunately, is to reinstall the OS.
