    Forgotten administrator password

    I made a profile for myself as administrator with a password tomonitor my kids

    > access to the internet and forgot the password. I can open my kids site but not mine. Since my last kid is off to school want the computer open to the intenet so I do not have to use my laptop. Can anyone tell me a way around it so I can change the password?? It does not ask for the hint which might help. Thanks for any help you can give me.
