Hi caeser,

You can break administrator in 3 ways.
1.using a linux utility tool called Break pwd.(break password)

2.By logging on local machine with the domain administrator id (if u r machine is configured to Domain)

3.By physically removing u r harddisk, & connecting it as a slave to another machine & deleting the sam database(there will be no password,just enter & login)
