I am afraid that I don't have very good news for you. If you don't have your password, or a reset disk you will need to reimage the drive. Here is an article from Microsoft regarding passwords and windows 7.
windows.microsoft.com/.../What-to-do-if-you-forget-your-Windows-password
If you've forgotten your Windows password and you're on a domain, you should contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you're not on a domain, you can reset your password by using a password reset disk or by using an administrator account.
If you forget the administrator password and don't have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you won't be able to reset the password. If there are no other user accounts on the computer, you won't be able to log on to Windows and will need to re-install Windows.
