Apart from remembering or acquiring the admin password (which I highly recommend doing), I would suggest removing the hard disk drive and placing it in another computer. Boot from that computer's own disk, then try to access your hard drive and back up any data you want to save. Then put your drive back into your computer, format the disk, reinstall the OS, and retrieve the data.

There may be other ways around loss passwords, but I don't know of any.
