When I boot the computer it asks for a password. I forgot what the password is. Is there a way to reset the password or eliminate the password altogether? I can't believe that I'm gonna have to format and reinstall the entire OS just because I forgot the freakin' password.

SysInternals used to have a freeware utility called LockSmith that allowed you to reset the admin password. Unfortunately, their download page now redirects you to their for-pay stuff.

You might be able to find the freeware version on one of the shareware sites though.
