I'd like to know this too, if it is possible. If you find out a way, charge
this doctor a lot extra because it's his/her fault! If it were me I would
just say, sorry but you shouldn't have your username blocked with a password
if you can't remember it!! And then do a clean install. I am assuming you've
already tried booting to Safe Mode and see if the main Administrator account
(if it is different than his personalized user account) is
password-protected? Of course it SHOULD be, but you wouldn't believe how
many people are in such a hurry installing Windows that they fail to put a
password over the one place where it really counts!
