Osiris, many OEM computers have a default administrator account you can access for which the password is left "blank." You could try hitting ctrl+Alt+Delete and logging in that way so you can access Windows.

Hit F8 repeatedly from the minute your PC starts up. Choose "safe mode"

Login as "administrator" (no password), reset your password and reboot
