next time you boot your computer, press the F8 key a few times. You should now see a few options on your screen. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and when you get into windows delete the account or password that you wish.
Think that should do it, let me know.

in run box, type 'control userpaswords2' (without the 's). Option there 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'. Uncheck it.
Or as previously mentioned, just set password to 'null'.
