Administrator password forgotten, how to get to retrieve or change?

I am the administrator of my daughters computer.  Unfortunately I don't remember the password to sign his computer.  I don't have a reset disk, and I am unable to give permission for the updates to be implemented.  Can you tell me how I could go in and at leat change the password?

Please note the second paragraph:

What to do if you forget your Windows password

If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you are not on a domain, you can reset your password by using a reset disk of password or by using an administrator account. For more information, see create a password reset disk or reset your Windows password.

If you forget the administrator password, and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password. If there is no other user account on the computer, you will not be able to connect to Windows and you will need to re - install Windows.
