Once the computer was locked ,no one can get into computer to open the command prompt as an administrator,obviously this is invalid , we can try using other account to access to computer ,If you want to reset an administrative password on Windows, you need to be logged into a secondary account with administrative rights, once logged in, open the command prompt as an administrator, type in ( without the quotes): " net user %username% * "
This will prompt you to enter a new password for the account.

NOTE: %username% is a variable which holds the current ( logged on ) user name. Please replace %username% with the account name you wish to reset the password for.
If you have no secondary accounts try running a live version of Windows/Linux from a disc or 3rd party tools.
