Get any data off it using a portable HDD, format and reinstall windows.

The password you are being asked for is the administrator password.

If you dont want to clean install you can try this guide:

If you know a bit about computers its really easy.

most pc shops will do it with a little known program so you kon boot your pc and bypass the user password

If you want to drop it in at my place we can probably sort that out for you whilst you wait.

There are a number of tools for "erasing" the password of an existing
account on a PC.

You can find them at

without any data damaged, just clearing the password will work well.

Cheers

You mean you lost password of the admin account? Then you need to reset windows password to run programs as administrator. Read this article to get more information:
