Hello Raziel,
if you have administrator's privileges you can do it this way:

    Click Start/Run
    Type lusrmgr.msc
    Hit the Enter key


A programm will open, on the left click on the Users and then on the right right click the Administrator account, then seect the change password menu.

If you are not a member of the Administrators group you can do this by using a UBCD4WIN LiveCd that enables you to boot from cd and then use a password tool.
I hope this helps
