Log off from your normal user and log in as Administrator with a blank password field.
You could also try passwords such as (mind the capitals): password, Password, admin, Admin.

Furthermore, Symantec has an uninstall-program on its website.
If your system is relatively new and 'lean', it might be faster to safe your user-data, wipe the harddisk and reinstall from scratch.
