At the welcome screen do a couple of control-alt-deletes to bring up the logon page. Put Administrator in and the password [or just enter if no password was set]. See if you can logon that way.

I think the best way for you is to reset your windows password. The Windows password Reset can solve all your problem within a few minutes. Importantly,No need to call a technician, no need to re-install anything, and you certainly don't need to reformat. http://www.resetwindowspassword.com/
