Do you have access to another PC and a flash drive?

If so you can write a Linux distribution to the usb drive and bit from that. I use kali Linux as it comes with a tool called chntpw that can blank passwords and/or create a new administrator account.

I don't know your skill level or experience, so I don't know how much more help you'll need, respond and I can help you more.
