You have set an Administrator password and you no longer remember it.
If you have another account that has administrative privileges then logon
with this one and reset the password.

If you cannot and do not have a password reset disk and you cannot recover
to a FULL backup prior to the reset then - either purchase one of the third
party tools that allow the resetting of a password or you will be forced to
reinstall your OS. Please note this will also stop you getting any
encrypted files back if you reinstall unless you have exported the recovery
agent keys.

Once you do get yourself operational again - check the Help and Support and
search for password reset to find out more about password reset disks.

(If you are a member of a Domain - then one of the domain admins could logon
at your PC and reset your local admin password.)
