If you have a USB you could use Hirens BootCD 15.2, I used it to change or delete password from any user. It's free.

There's no way to break the password without external tools as mentioned above.

If you have access to command prompts you can change through there by adding another user and making that user admin then signing into that user and deleting your old admin account

1. Beat up your bro and get the password out from him. this may be bit harsh but the recommended solution.

2. Install a spy cam on your bro's shirt so that when he uses computer you can see what he types. this is another but not at all recommended. he might beat you up first

3. Use a Pen Drive or Disc as mentioned above and reset it. you can read about it on google as i see you are online while posting this quesiton as well. just borrow a computer from your friend or someone and copy that software onto a pen drive. Logical Solution.

You can reset the password through something called a backdoor what this bassicly does Is change the sticky key to cmd which allows you to change the password. If these instructions do not make sense search on YouTube how to reset windows 7 password with sticky keys.

Boot from Windows PE or Windows RE and access the command prompt.

Find the drive letter of the partition where Windows is installed. In Vista and Windows XP, it is usually C:, in Windows 7, it is D: in most cases because the first partition contains Startup Repair. To find the drive letter, type C: (or D:, respectively) and search for the Windows folder. Note that Windows PE (RE) usually resides on X:.

Type the following command (replace “c:” with the correct drive letter if Windows is not located on C:):

copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

This creates a copy of sethc.exe to restore later.

Type this command to replace sethc.exe with cmd.exe:

copy /y c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Reboot your computer and start the Windows installation where you forgot the administrator password.

After you see the logon screen, press the SHIFT key five times.

You should see a command prompt where you can enter the following command to reset the Windows password (see screenshot above):

net user your_user_name new_password

If you don’t know your user name, just type net user to list the available user names.

You can now log on with the new password.
